O Lord, to Thee I Cry
from Psalm 28
The Psalter, 1912

O Lord, to Thee I cry;
Thou art my Rock and Trust;
O be not si-lent, lest I die
And slum-ber in the dust.
O hear me when in prayer
Thy fa-vor I en-treat;
Hear, while I lift im-plor-ing hands
Be-fore Thy mer-cy seat.
O let me have no part
With those that hate the right;
For as their works, so their re-ward:
Je-ho-vah will re-quite.
But bles-sed be the Lord
Who heark-ens when I cry;
The Lord, my strength, my help, my shield,
On Him I will re-ly.
His help makes glad my heart,
And songs of praise I sing;
Je-ho-vah is His peo-ple's strength,
The strong-hold of their king.
Bless Thy in-her-i-tance,
Our Sav-ior he, I pray;
Sup-ply Thou all Thy peo-ple's need,
And be their con-stant stay.
