I love the Lord: he heard my cries
1
I love the Lord: he heard my cries,And pitied every groan;Long as I live, when troubles rise,I 'll hasten to his throne.
2
I love the Lord: he bowed his ear,And chased my grief away;O let my heart no more despair,While I have breath to pray.
3
The Lord beheld me sore distressed;He bade my pains remove:Return, my soul, to God, thy rest;For thou hast known his love.
