Trinity Psalter Hymnal ‎#86B

86B. Lord, My Petition Heed

1 Lord, my petition heed,
now help me in my need,
my Savior be.
I am your servant, Lord;
my trust is in your word,
mercy to me accord;
Lord, hear my plea.

2 Comfort your servant now,
while at your throne I bow,
for you are love.
Your pard'ning grace is free;
sinners who call in need
your tender mercy see,
O God above.

3 Lord, hear me while I pray,
while now in troubled day
I seek your face.
No god of man's design
is like our God, divine;
most bright your glories shine,
O God of grace.

4 By all whom you have made
be praise and worship paid
through earth abroad.
Your name be glorified,
there is none great beside,
matchless your works abide,
for you are God.

5 Help me your will to do,
your truth I will pursue,
teach me to fear;
my heart now purify,
your name to glorify,
O Lord, my God Most High,
with heart sincere.

6 How great your love appears
that made death’s gloomy fears
no more dismay;
O God, to anger slow,
save me from ev'ry foe,
your lovingkindness show,
your truth display.

7 Show me your mercy true,
your servant’s strength renew,
deliv'rance send.
To me your goodness show,
your comfort, Lord, bestow;
let those who hate me know
you are my friend.
