The Lord Has Heard and Answered Prayer

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord has heard and answered prayer And saved His people in distress; This to the coming age declare, That they His holy Name may bless. 2 The Lord, exalted on His throne, Looked down from heaven with pitying eye To still the lowly captive’s moan And save His people doomed to die. 3 All men in Zion shall declare His gracious Name with one accord, When kings and nations gather there To serve and worship God the Lord. 4 Before my journey is complete My vigor fails, my years decline; My God, O spare me, I entreat; The days of life are wholly Thine. 5 Attend, O Lord, to my desire, O haste to answer when I pray, For grief consumes my strength like fire, My days as smoke pass swift away. 6 O cut not short my life's brief day, O Thou whose years eternal run, Thou who didst earth's foundations lay, Creator of the stars and sun. 7 The earth and heavens shall pass away, Like vesture worn and laid aside, But changeless Thou shalt live for aye, Thy years forever shall abide. 8 Thou, O Jehovah, shalt endure, Thy throne forever is the same; And to all generations sure Shall be Thy great memorial Name. 9 Thy servants’ children shall remain Forevermore before Thy face; Enduring honor they shall gain, Established ever in Thy grace.
