Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 197 hymnals First Line: I love the Lord, he heard my cry Lyrics: 1. I Love the Lord, he heard my cry
And pitied ev'ry groan.
Long as I love, while troubles rise,
I'll hasten to his throne.
2. I love the Lord; he bowed his ear
And chased my griefs away;
Oh, let my heart no more despair
While I have breath to pray.
3. My flesh declined, my spirits fell,
And I drew near the dead,
While inward pangs of fear and hell
Perplexed my wakeful head.
4. My God, I cried, your servant save,
Be ever good and just;
Your pow’r can rescue from the grave,
Your pow’r is all my trust.
5. The Lord beheld me sore distressed,
He bid my pains remove;
Return, my soul, to God my rest,
For you have known his love.
6. What shall I render to my God
For all his kindness shown?
Your cup of life I’ll gladly take;
My songs address your throne.
7. How much is mercy your delight,
My ever-blessèd God!
How dear your servants in your sight!
How precious is their blood! Topics: Lent; Holy Week Maundy Thursday Scripture: Psalm 116 Used With Tune: SMALLWOOD
