1 Hear my cry and supplication;
LORD, I pour out my complaint.
Heed my tale of tribulation;
lead the way when I am faint.
2 When my path is filled with dangers,
no one comes to rescue me.
When I am ensnared by strangers,
no one comes to set me free.
3 LORD, I am oppressed and lowly;
I depend upon your care.
Save me now, O God most holy,
hear me in my deep despair.
4 When you lead me from this prison,
righteous friends will gather round.
When from depths I have arisen,
I will make your praise resound.
5 I will arise and go to Jesus;
he will embrace me in his arms;
in the arms of my dear aSvior,
oh, there are ten thousand charms.
