1 Hear me when I call, O God, my righteousness,
Unto Thee I come in weakness and distress;
Hold my trembling hand, lest helpless I should fall,
O hear me, Lord, hear me, O hear me when I call!

2 Hear my cry, O God, attend unto my prayer,
More and more I need Thy mercy and Thy care;
Clouds of doubt arise and faith grows weak and small,
O hear me, Lord, hear me, O hear me when I call!

3 Hear my voice, O God, and cleanse my soul within,
Mercy do I need for all my doubts and sin;
Only in Thy grace I trust my all in all,
O hear me, Lord, hear me, O hear me when I call!

4 Hear my prayer, O God, I need Thy cleansing power,
Let me feel Thee near each moment of each hour;
Hold my trembling hand, lest helpless I should fall,
O hear me, Lord, hear me, O hear me when I call!
