O Lord, to Thee I Cry

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #55 (1934) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, to Thee I cry; Thou art my rock and trust; O be not silent, lest I die And slumber in the dust, O be not silent, lest I die And slumber in the dust. 2 O hear me when in prayer Thy favor I entreat; Hear, while I lift imploring hands Before Thy mercy-seat, Hear, while I lift imploring hands Before Thy mercy-seat. 3 O let me have no part With those that hate the right; For as their works, so their reward: Jehovah will requite, For as their works, so their reward: Jehovah will requite. 4 But blessed be the Lord Who hearkens when I cry; The Lord, my strength, my help, my shield, On Him will I rely, The Lord, my strength, my help, my shield, On Him will I rely. 5 His help makes glad my heart, And songs of praise I sing; Jehovah is His people's strength, The stronghold of their king, Jehovah is His people's strength, The stronghold of their king. 6 Bless Thy inheritance, Our Savior, be, I pray; Supply Thou all Thy people's need, And be their constant stay Supply Thou all Thy people's need, And be their constant stay.

Ludwig van Beethoven

1770 - 1827 Person Name: Beethoven Composer of "[O Lord, to thee I cry]" in Bible Songs A giant in the history of music, Ludwig van Beethoven (b. Bonn, Germany, 1770; d. Vienna, Austria, 1827) progressed from early musical promise to worldwide, lasting fame. By the age of fourteen he was an accomplished viola and organ player, but he became famous primarily because of his compositions, including nine symphonies, eleven overtures, thirty piano sonatas, sixteen string quartets, the Mass in C, and the Missa Solemnis. He wrote no music for congregational use, but various arrangers adapted some of his musical themes as hymn tunes; the most famous of these is ODE TO JOY from the Ninth Symphony. Although it would appear that the great calamity of Beethoven's life was his loss of hearing, which turned to total deafness during the last decade of his life, he composed his greatest works during this period.
