Penitent Pleas

Tune: Austrian Hymn

('Praise the Lord, ye heavens adore Him')

Psalm 86 v.1-10

*******

Bow down your ear, LORD, and hear me

For I am poor, needy, see

Preserve my soul, I am holy

'Tis through your grace it so be

O you, my God, save your servant

I before you penitent

Trusting in you, be merciful

To me, LORD, I to you call

 

Make the soul of your servant glad

Rejoicing in you, not sad

For to you, LORD, I lift my soul

Come to me, heal, make me whole

For you, LORD, are good and ready

To forgive, keep me steady

You plenteous in mercy to

All who call on you anew

 

Give ear, LORD, to my prayer, do hear

Attend to me here, draw near

In my troubles I will on you

Call, you all my state do view

Among the gods there are none who

Are like you or act like you

For you the LORD reign evermore

Your rule is eternal, sure

 

All nations whom you have here made

Shall come to you, and arrayed

Before you, they worship shall give

To you who do ever live

And your name they shall glorify

They confess you, not deny

That you are great, and do great things

And wonders, all to you sings
