379. I love the Lord; He heard my cries

1 I love the Lord; He heard my cries,
And pitied ev'ry groan;
Long as I live, when troubles rise,
I'll hasten to His throne.

2 I love the Lord; He bow'd His ear,
And chased my griefs away:
Oh, let my heart no more despair,
While I have breath to pray.

3 Among the saints that fill Thy house,
My off'ring shall be paid;
There shall my zeal perform the vows
My soul in anguish made.

4 The Lord beheld me sore distrest:
He bade my pains remove:
Return, my soul, to God, thy rest,
For thou hast known His love.
