MHB 543 – HEAR Thou my prayer, O Lord

Methodist-Hymns-543

1: HEAR Thou my prayer, O Lord,
And listen to my cry:
Remember now Thy faithful word,
And graciously reply.

2: Do not in judgment rise
Thy servant’s life to scan;
For righteous in Thy spotless eyes
Is found no living man.

3: I stretch my longing hands
Towards Thy holy place,
With soul athirst, like weary lands,
For Thy refreshing grace.

4: Haste Thee, O Lord, I pray,
My failing heart to save.
Hide not Thy face: I droop as they
That sink into the grave.

5: Thy mercy’s early light
My faith desires to see;
O let me walk before Thy sight!
I lift my soul to Thee.

6:  Let Thy good Spirit lead
My feet in righteous ways;
And for Thy name’s sake, Lord, my
head
Above my troubles raise.
