I Love the Lord Who Heard My Cry

I love the Lord who heard my cry

And grant­ed my re­quest;

In Him who hears and an­swers pray­er

My trust through life shall rest.

With dead­ly sor­rows com­passed round

My heart was full of grief;

Then to the Lord I made my pray­er

That He would send re­lief.

The Lord is just and mer­ci­ful

And gra­cious to the meek;

He saved me when I cried to Him

Though I was poor and weak.

Return un­to thy rest

my soul

No long­er trou­bled be;

The Lord sus­tains thee

and has dealt

Most gra­cious­ly with thee.

Before my Sav­ior I will live

From death He saved my soul

My eyes from tears

my feet from falls

And he has made me whole.

In my af­flict­ion this I found

That hu­man help de­ceived

But ev­er faith­ful was the Lord

In whom my soul be­lieved.
