Bow Down Thine Ear, O Lord, and Hear

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
