392. O Lord, Make Haste to Hear My Cry

1 O Lord, make haste to hear my cry.
To Thee I call, on Thee rely.
Incline to me a gracious ear,
And, when I call, in mercy hear.

2 When in the morning unto Thee
I lift my voice and bring my plea,
Then let my prayer as incense rise
To God enthroned above the skies.

3 When unto Thee I look and pray
With lifted hands at close of day,
Then as the evening sacrifice
Let my request accepted rise.

4 Guard Thou my thoughts, I Thee implore,
And of my lips keep Thou the door;
Nor leave my sinful heart to stray
Where evil footsteps lead the way.

Amen.
