Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 86 First Line: Bow down Thy ear, O LORD, and hear Lyrics: 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. Topics: Supplication Used With Tune: MARYTON Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912
