Lord, in the Morning Thou Shalt Hear

 

 

VERSE 1

Lord, in the morning Thou shalt hear

My voice ascending high;

To Thee will I direct my prayer,

To Thee lift up mine eye.

 

VERSE 2

Up to the hills, where Christ is gone

To plead for all His saints,

Presenting at His Father’s throne,

Our songs and our complaints.

 

VERSE 3

Thou art a God before Whose sight

The wicked shall not stand;

Sinners shall ne’er be Thy delight,

Nor dwell at Thy right hand.

 

VERSE 4

But to Thy house will I resort,

To taste Thy mercies there;

I will frequent Thine holy court,

And worship in Thy fear.

 

VERSE 5

O may Thy Spirit guide my feet

In ways of righteousness!

Make ev’ry path of duty straight

And plain before my face

 

VERSE 6

My watchful enemies combine

To tempt my feet astray;

They flatter, with a base design

To make my soul their prey.

 

VERSE 7

Lord, crush the serpent in the dust,

And all his plots destroy;

While those that in Thy mercy trust,

Forever shout for joy.

 

VERSE 8

The men that love and fear Thy Name

Shall see their hopes fulfill’d;

The mighty God will compass them

With favor as a shield.
