Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #434 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship First Line: I love the Lord; he heard my cries Lyrics: 1 I love the Lord; he heard my cries,
And pitied ev'ry groan:
Long as I live, when troubles rise,
I’ll hasten to his throne.
2 I love the Lord; he bow'd his ear,
And chas'd my griefs away:
O let my heart no more despair,
While I have breath to pray!
3 Among the saints that fill thine house,
My off'ring shall be paid;
There shall my zeal perform the vows
My soul in anguish made.
4 The Lord beheld me sore distress'd;
He bade my pains remove.
Return, my soul, to God, thy rest;
For thou hast known his love. Topics: Special Occasions Sickness and Recovery Languages: English
