Classic Poem

1. I love the Lord, because he doth My voice and prayer hear,
2. The pangs of death on every side About beset me round;
And in my days will call because He bowed to me his ear.
The pains of hell gat hold on me, Distress and grief I found.

3. Upon Jehovah's name therefore
I callèd and did say,
Deliver thou my soul, O Lord,
I do thee humbly pray.

4. Gracious the Lord and just, our God
Is merciful also.
The Lord the simple keeps, and he
Saved me when I was low.

5. O thou, my soul, do thou return
Unto thy quiet rest,
Because the Lord to thee, himself
Hath bounteously expressed.
