The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4152

4152. Make Haste, O God, to Save

1. Make haste, O God, to save;
To help me, Lord, make haste;
Ashamed, confounded, they shall be
Who would my life lay waste.

2. They shall be put to shame
That in my hurt delight,
And backward in dishonor turned,
Their mocking to requite.

3. All they that seek Thy face
With joy in Thee abide,
And, loving Thy salvation, say,
Let God be magnified.

4. In need I am, and poor;
O God, make haste, I pray;
Thou art my Savior and my help,
O Lord, make no delay.
