¶Lyrics / Text

O let me in th'accepted hour In prayer to thee my spirit pour; Thine ear, O Lord, propitious bend, And pleased, thy promised help extend. Snatch from the miry depths my feet; Back let my furious foes retreat: Safe from their hate thy servant keep, Nor leave him sinking in the deep. O then the swelling storm assuage, Ere yet the flood's remorseless rage In dreadful whirlpools wrap me round, And plunge me in the dark profound. Hear, Lord, and to my soul display Thy mercy's all-enliv'ning ray: Look down, eternal God, look down; Behold me, but without a frown. Ne'er to thy servant's longing eye Thy face, amidst my foes, deny: Haste to my aid, O haste thee near; Release my soul from hostile fear.
