I LOVE the Lord Who heard my cry And granted my request; In Him Who hears and answers prayer My trust through life shall rest.
With deadly sorrows compassed round, My heart was full of grief; Then to the Lord I made my prayer, That He would send relief.
The Lord is just and merciful, And gracious to the meek; He saved me when I cried to Him, Though I was poor and weak.
Return unto your rest, my soul, No longer troubled be. The Lord’s sustaining love has dealt Most graciously with me.
Before my Saviour I will live; From death He saved my soul, My eyes from tears, my feet from falls, And He has made me whole.
In my affliction this I found, That human help deceived; But ever faithful was the Lord In Whom my soul believed.
The Psalter, 1912
