1. I love the Lord, because my voiceand prayers he did hear.
2. I, while I live, will call on him,who bow'd to me his ear.
3. Of death the cords and sorrows didabout me compass round;The pains of hell took hold on me,I grief and trouble found.
4. Upon the name of God the Lordthen did I call, and say,Deliver thou my soul, O Lord,I do thee humbly pray.
5. God merciful and righteous is,yea, gracious is our Lord.
6. God saves the meek: I was brought low,he did me help afford.
