Great God, attend to my complaint

Verse 1

Great God, attend to my complaint, Nor let my drooping spirit faint; When foes in secret spread the snare, Let my salvation be thy care.

Verse 2

Shield me without and guard within, From treach'rous foes and deadly sin; May envy, lust, and pride depart, And heav'nly grace expand my heart.

Verse 3

Thy justice and thy pow'r display, And scatter far thy foes away; While list'ning nations learn thy word, And saints triumphant bless the Lord.

Verse 4

Than shall thy church exalt her voice, And all that love thy name rejoice; By faith approach thine awful throne, And plead the merits of thy Son.
