Lord, hear my voice, my prayer attend

Verse 1

Lord, hear my voice, my prayer attend; from earth's remotest bound I send my supplicating cry. When troubles great o'erwhelm my breast, then lead me on the rock to rest that higher is than I.

Verse 2

In thee my soul has shelter found, and thou hast been from foes around the tower of my defence. My home shall thy pavilion be; to covert of thy wings I'll flee, and find deliverance.

Verse 3

For thou, O Lord, my vows hast heard; on me the heritage conferred of those that fear thy name. Long life thou to the king wilt give; through generations he shall live, from age to age the same.

Verse 4

Before the Lord shall he abide; O do thou truth and grace provide to guard him in the way. So I thy praises will make known, and humbly bending at thy throne, my vows will daily pay.
