Hear My Cry, Eternal One

Words: from Psalm 141

  1.  Hear my cry Eternal One;
      Let my voice rise unto Thee;
      Let my prayer as incense be;
      As the evening sacrifice.
      Set a watch on my mouth;
      O Eternal, guard my lips;
      Let my heart not turn to sin;
      Nor to practice wicked ways.

  2.  O Eternal, hear my cry;
      Let the righteous smite reprove;
      'Tis a kindness to desire;
      I will pray for their good will.
      Let my heart turn from sin;
      Not to works of wicked men;
      I would never taste their feasts;
      Their own judges are thrown down.

  3.  Hear my cry Eternal One;
      Tell the wicked of your threats;
      How their bones shall lie around;
      Scattered at the mouth of graves.
      O my God, turn mine eyes;
      Let me perish not with them;
      Save me from the snare they lay;
      Let them fall in their own net.
