I Love the LORD, for He Has Heard My Voice
- I love the LORD, for he has heard my voice;
 he heard my pleas for mercy and for grace.
 Since he inclined his ear to my request,
 I’ll call on him as long as life shall last.
- Anguish of death encompassed me about;
 cords of the grave and terror held me down.
 I was distressed. I called upon his name:
 “Rescue my soul, O LORD my God, I pray.”
- Righteous and gracious is the LORD our God,
 rich in his mercy, tender in his love.
 He will preserve the simple in their need;
 when I was low, he came and rescued me.
- Rest, O my soul; the LORD has blessed you well,
 for you, O LORD, from death redeemed my soul.
 You dried my tears, my stumbling feet restored.
 I’ll walk the land of life before the LORD.
- I spoke in anguish, though I still believed:
 “I’m greatly troubled by my pain and grief.”
 Filled with alarm, I said in my dismay,
 “All men speak lies, and falsehood is their way.”
- What shall I render now unto the LORD
 for all his benefits on me bestowed?
 I’ll lift salvation’s cup, and with his saints
 I’ll pay my vows and call upon his name.
- How dear to God the dying of his saints.
 LORD, I’m your servant; you have loosed my chains.
 I am your handmaid’s son, your servant true.
 I offer thankful sacrifice to you.
- I call upon God’s name with thankful praise.
 ’Mid all his people I will pay my vows,
 here, in the LORD’s house, in his temple courts,
 in you, Jerusalem. O praise the LORD!
