I Love the Lord, Who Heard My Cry

1.  I love the Lord, who heard my cry
    And pitied every groan.
    Long as I live and troubles rise,
    I'll hasten to God's throne.

2.  I love the Lord, who heard my cry
    And chased my grief away.
    O let my heart no more despair
    While I have breath to pray.
