The Psalter ‎#235

235. Confiding Prayer

1 Lord, my petition heed,
Now help me in my need,
My Saviour be;
I am Thy servant, Lord,
My trust is in Thy word,
Mercy to me afford,
I cry to Thee.

2 Comfort Thy servant now,
While at Thy throne I bow,
For Thou art love.
Thy pard'ning grace is free;
Sinners who call on Thee
Thy tender mercy see;
O God above.

3 Lord, hear me when I pray,
While now in trouble's day
I seek Thy face.
To answer, Lord, is Thine;
Thou only art divine,
Most bright Thy glories shine,
O God of grace.
