I love the Lord, because my voice

Hymnal: CH31973 #8 (1973) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I love the Lord, because my voice And prayers he did hear. I, while I live, will call on him, Who bowed to me his ear. 2 The cords of death on every side Encompassed me around; The sorrows of the grave he seized, I grief and trouble found. 3 Upon the Name of God the Lord Then did I call, and say, Deliver thou my soul, O Lord, I do thee humbly pray. 4 God merciful and righteous is, Yea, gracious is our Lord. God saves the meek: I was brought low, He did me help afford. 5 O thou my soul, do thou return Unto thy quiet rest; For largely, lo, the Lord to thee His bounty hath expressed. 6 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom we adore, Be glory, as it was, and is, And shall be evermore. Amen. Topics: Approach to God The House of God Scripture: Psalm 116:1-7 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN
