Entreaty and Hopeful Trust

Verse 1

Lord, hear me when I pray, And answer me in grace; Oft as I hear Thee say, Come ye and seek My face, My heart and lips their answer speak, Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek.

Verse 2

Hide no thy face from me, In wrath turn not away, My help and Savior be, Forsake me not, I pray; Should father, mother, both forsake, The Lord on me will pity take.

Verse 3

Teach me, O Lord, Thy way, Make plain tome my path; Because my foes, I pray, Protect me from their wrath; To false accusers, cruel foes, O Lord, do not my soul expose.

Verse 4

Faint-hearted would I be, Didst Thou not promise, Lord, I shall Thy goodness see While Thou dost life accord. Wait on the Lord, nor faint, nor fear, Yea, trust and wait, the Lord is near.
