1 O Lord, my prayer hear,
And to my cry
In faithfulness give ear,
In love reply.
Yet I recall to mind
What ancient days record;
Thy works of ev’ry kind,
I love them Lord.

2 To Thee I stretch my hands,
My helper be;
As long the thirsting lands,
I long for Thee
O Lord, send quick relief,
I humbly pray to Thee;
My spirit fails thro’ grief,
Stay not from me.

3 Cause me to know the way
My path should be.
I left my soul to Thee;
To Thee I pray,
O Lord, for Thy name’s sake,
Revive and quicken me;
And for Thine own truth’s sake,
My soul set free.
