PSALM 86

Hear My Prayer, Lord

[chanted version]

Hear my prayer, Lord.  Hear my prayer, Lord.

Hear my prayer and answer me.

I come to you in despair.

Protect me from the evil one.

Lord, lift me up; my life repair.

Help me believe the victory’s won.

Hear my prayer, Lord.  Hear my prayer, Lord.

Hear my prayer and answer me.

O guide me, Lord, that I may be

Willing to go where’er you lead.

Help me your will to always see

And share your Son who all has freed

Hear, my prayer, Lord.  Hear my prayer, Lord.

Hear my prayer and answer me.

Give me the grace the world to tell

Of what you’ve done to set us free.

Your rescued all from depths of hell

By what your Son came to be.

Hear my prayer, Lord.  Hear my prayer, Lord.

Hear my prayer and answer me.

Open my heart that I may praise

Your holy name and who you are.

The mighty God of endless days

You are my bright and morning star.

Hear my prayer, Lord.  Hear my prayer, Lord.

Hear my prayer and answer me.
