1 Hear my | crying, • O | God ||

give | ear | 3 unto my | prayer. ||

2 From the ends of the earth will I call upon thee, * when my | heart • is in | heavi•ness. ||

3 O set me up upon the | rock • that is | higher • than | I ||

for | thou hast • been my | hope, ||

and a strong | tower for • me a- | gainst the | ene•my. ||

4 I will dwell in thy | taber•nacle for | ever ||

and my trust shall be under the | 3 covering | of thy | wings. ||

5 For thou, O Lord, hast | heard • my de- | sires ||

and hast given an heritage unto | those that | fear thy | Name. ||

6 Thou shalt grant the | King a • long | life ||

that his years may en- | dure through•out | all • gener- | ations. ||

7 He shall dwell before | God for | ever ||

O prepare thy loving mercy and | faithful•ness, that | they • may pre- | serve him. ||

8 So will I always sing | praise un•to thy | Name ||

that I may | 3 daily per- | form my | vows. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
