O Lord, Make Haste to Hear My Cry

Verse 1

O Lord, make haste to hear my cry, To You I call, on You rely. Incline to me a gracious ear, And when I call, in mercy hear.

Verse 2

When in the morning unto You I call in supplication new, Then let my prayer as incense rise To God enthroned above the skies.

Verse 3

When unto You I look and pray With lifted hands at close of day, Then as the evening sacrifice Let my request accepted rise.

Verse 4

O guard my thoughts, I now implore, And of my lips O keep the door; Nor leave my sinful heart to stray Where evil footsteps lead the way.
