339. Importunate Prayer

Lyrics

1. O Lord, my earnest cry
Thy listening ear has heard;
With Thy salvation answer me,
And I will keep Thy word.

2. At early dawn I prayed,
Thy promises my trust;
At night I thought upon Thy word,
Most holy and most just.

3. O hear me in Thy grace,
In mercy quicken me;
The wicked plan to do me harm,
But they are far from thee.

4. Thou, Lord, art near to me,
And true are Thy commands;
Of old Thy testimonies show
Thy truth eternal stands.
