The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#522

522. I love the Lord: he heard my cries

1 I love the Lord: he heard my cries,
And pitied every groan;
Long as I live, when troubles rise,
I'll hasten to his throne.

2 I love the Lord: he bowed his ear,
And chased my grief away;
O let my heart no more despair,
While I have breath to pray.

3 The Lord beheld me sore distressed;
He bade my pains remove:
Return, my soul, to God, thy rest;
For thou hast known his love.
