Psalms and Hymns to the Living God ‎#86A

86A. Bow Down Thy Ear, O Lord

1 Bow down Thy ear, O LORD, and hear,
for I am poor and great my need;
preserve my soul, for Thee I fear;
O God, Thy trusting servant heed.

2 O Lord, be merciful to me,
for all the day to Thee I cry;
rejoice Thy servant, for to Thee
I lift my soul, O Lord Most High.

3 For Thou, O Lord, art good and kind,
and ready to forgive Thou art;
abundant mercy they shall find
who call on Thee with all their heart.

4 O LORD, incline Thy ear to me,
my voice of supplication heed;
in trouble I will cry to Thee,
for Thou wilt answer when I plead.

5 There is no God but Thee alone,
no works like Thine, O Lord Most High;
all nations shall surround Thy throne
and their Creator glorify.

6 In all Thy deeds how great Thou art!
Thou one true God, Thy way make clear;
teach me with undivided heart
to trust Thy truth, Thy Name to fear.
