5b. Hear My Words

1 Hear my words, O gracious LORD,
To my thoughts attentive be;
Hear my cry, my King, my God,
I will make my prayer to Thee.

2 With the morning light, O LORD,
Thou shalt hear my voice arise,
And expectant I will bring
Prayer as morning sacrifice.

3 Thou art holy, O my God.
Thou delightest not in sin;
Evil shall not dwell with Thee,
Nor the proud Thy favor win.

4 In the fullness of Thy grace,
To Thy house I will repair;
Bowing toward Thy holy place,
Lost in love I worship there.
