The LORD Hear Thee

Verse 1

The LORD hear thee in trouble's day, The name of Israel's God defend thee; From Zion light and strength display, Help from the sanctuary send thee!

Verse 2

Regard thy sacrifice for sin, Accept the gifts by thee presented; Grant thee thy heart's desire to win, And be thy thoughts by grace prevented.

Verse 3

We triumph, LORD! in Thy great name, Rejoicing in Thy free salvation; The LORD regard Messiah's claim, The LORD fulfils thy meditation.

Verse 4

Now know I that the God of grace, Help on His own anointed sends; Hearing him from His dwelling place, And him with His right arm defends.

Verse 5

In chariots some and horses rest Their safety, when the foe assails; The Name we call on when oppressed, Is His who never His people fails!

Verse 6

We prosper, But with shame they fall, We stand, but they are backwards driven; Save, LORD! and hear us when we call, Hear us, O LORD! Thou King of Heaven.
