Hear My Words, O LORD

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Confidence First Line: Hear my words, O LORD my God Lyrics: 1 Hear my words, O LORD my God; listen to my sighs and groans. Hear my cry, my king, my God, I will pray to you alone. When the morning comes, O LORD, you shall hear my pleading cries; I will watch when comes the dawn; I will bring my sacrifice. 2 Surely you are not a God who in evil takes delight; evil shall not dwell with you, nor the proud stand in your sight. Evildoers, LORD, you hate; lying ones will you lay waste. Men who murder and deceive, God, the LORD, abhors and hates. 3 But in your great love will I come into your house of grace. Rev'rent, I will worship there, bowing toward your holy place. Guide me safely, O my LORD, in your perfect righteousness; since my enemies are near, make straight paths before my face. 4 Not one word they say is true; from their heart destruction comes; and their throats are open graves, yet they flatter with their tongues. Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them by their counsels fall; snare them in the schemes they plan, for against you they rebel. 5 Let all those who flee to you find their refuge and be glad. Let them ever sing for joy, ever them protection spread. Those who truly love your name magnify you with their praise. You will bless the righteous, LORD, shielding him with all your grace. Scripture: Psalm 5 Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH Text Sources: The Psalter,, 1912, alt.

Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine. 2 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered Was all for sinner's gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Savior! ’Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 3 What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this, Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine forever; And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love to Thee. 4 Be near when I am dying, O show Thy cross to me; And for my succor flying, Come, Lord, and set me free. These eyes, new faith receiving, From Jesus shall not move, For He who dies believing, Dies safely through Thy love. Used With Tune: MIG HJERTELIG NU LÆNGES
