To my complaint, O Lord my God

Verse 1

To my complaint, O Lord my God, Thy gracious ear incline; Hear me, distress'd and destitute Of all relief but thine.

Verse 2

Do thou, O God, preserve my soul, that does thy Name adore; Thy servant keep, and him, whose trust Relies on thee, restore.

Verse 3

To me, who daily thee invoke, Thy Mercy, Lord, extend; Refresh thy servant's soul, whose hopes On thee alone depend.

Verse 4

Thou, Lord, art good, nor only good, But prompt to pardon too; Of plenteous mercy to all those Who for thy mercy sue.

Verse 5

Therefore, their great Creator, thee, The nations shall adore; Their long-misguided pray'rs and praise To thy bless'd name restore.

Verse 6

All shall confess thee great, and great The wonders thou hast done; Confess thee God, thee God supreme, Confess thee God alone.
