1 LORD, my petition heed,
now help me in my need,
or else I die.
I am your servant, LORD;
my trust is in your word.
Mercy to me accord;
to you I cry.
2 Comfort your servant now,
while at your throne I bow
and call to you.
Your pardoning grace is free;
sinners who raise their plea
your love and mercy see;
they are made new.
3 LORD, hear me when I pray;
in every troubled day
I seek your face.
O Lord, you far outshine
the gods of our design;
most bright your glories shine,
O God of grace.
4 By nations you have made,
your praise will be displayed
through earth abroad.
Your name be glorified,
your greatness magnified;
matchless your works abide,
for you are God!
5 Lead me to do your will,
in me your trust instill,
teach me your word.
I will give thanks to you,
your praise I will pursue;
all glory be to you,
O Lord my God!
6 Great is your love to me;
from death you set me free
when foes alarm.
Your grace I surely know,
your anger, Lord, is slow;
your loving-kindness show,
save me from harm.
7 Show me your mercy true,
your servant's strength renew,
salvation send.
A sign of favor show,
your comfort, LORD, bestow;
let those who hate me know
you are my friend.
