Lyrics

Lord, Thou shalt ear­ly hear my voice:
I early will di­rect
My pray­er to Thee; and look­ing up,
An an­swer will expect.

For Thou art not a God that doth
In wick­ed­ness delight;
Neither shall ev­il dwell with Thee,
Nor fools stand in Thy sight.

But I in­to Thy house will come
In Thine abun­dant grace;
And I will wor­ship in Thy fear
Toward Thy ho­ly place.

Let all that trust in Thee be glad,
With joy lift up their voice;
Because Thou sav­est them; let all
That love Thy name re­joice.
