LyicsI love the Lord, he hear'd my cries
And piti'd ev'ry groan;
Long as I live, when troubles rise,
I'll hasten to his throne.
I love the Lord he bow'd his ear
And chas'd my grief away;
Oh let my heart no more despair
When I have breath to pray.
My flesh declin'd, my spirits fell,
And I drew near the dead,
While inward pangs and fears of hell
Perplex'd my wakeful head.
My God, I cri'd, thy servant save,
Thou ever good and just-
Thy pow,r can rescue from the grave,
Thy pow'r is all my trust.
The Lord beheld me sore distrest,
He bade my pains remove;
Return my soul to God thy rest,
For thou hast known his love.
My God hath sav'd my soul from death,
And dry'd my falling tears.
Now to his praise I'll spend my breath,
And my remaining years.
