O Hear My Urgent Cry
- O hear my urgent cry, my God,
and listen to my plea.
From earth’s remotest bounds I call,
my heart grows faint in me. - Now lead me to the rock, O God,
that’s higher far than I.
For you’re my refuge from the foe,
my tow’r of strength on high. - O let me dwell within your tent,
forever there to live.
And let me shelter ’neath your wings;
sure refuge they will give. - For you have heard my vows, O God,
and you have given me
the heritage of those who fear
your name of majesty. - Prolong the days the king will live;
his sov’reign rule extend
for many generations more,
established with no end. - May he forever sit as king,
enthroned before God’s face;
appoint your love and faithfulness
as his protecting grace. - So I will ever bless your name
with songs of joy and praise,
as I perform my holy vows
with gladness all my days.
