O Lord, My Earnest Cry

Verse 1

O Lord, my earnest cry Thy list'ning ear has heard; with Thy salvation answer me, and I will keep Thy word.

Verse 2

At early dawn I prayed, Thy promises my trust; at night I thought upon Thy Word, most holy and most just.

Verse 3

O hear me in Thy grace, in mercy quicken me; the wicked plan to do me harm, but they are far from Thee.

Verse 4

Thou, LORD, art near to me, and true are Thy commands; of old Thy testimonies show Thy truth eternal stands.
