O Lord, to Thee I Cry

Verse 1

O LORD, to Thee I cry; You are my rock and trust; O be not silent, lest I die And slumber in the dust.

Verse 2

O hear me when in prayer Thy favor I entreat; Hear, while I lift imploring hands Before Thy mercy seat.

Verse 3

O let me have no part With those that hate the right; 'For as their works, so their reward: Jehovah will requite.'

Verse 4

But blessed be the LORD Who hearkens when I cry; The LORD, my strength, my help, my shield On Him will I rely.

Verse 5

His help makes glad my heart, And songs of praise I sing; Jehovah is His people's strength, The stronghold of their king.

Verse 6

Bless Thy inheritance, Our Savior be, I pray; Supply Thou all Thy people's need, And be their constant stay.
