2. HOLD ME FAST PSALM 5
In the morning hear my cry Hear my prayer, LORD, lifted high Let my groaning reach Your ears Come and draw near I know with You no evil dwells At our sins your anger swells Men of bloodshed, men of lies LORD, You despise

3. To Your temple I draw near Bowing down in holy fear

4. Let my cry come to your ears Set me free from all my fears Lead me on in righteousness And hold me fast By Your grace I’ll live and sing Loud hosannas daily bring Lifted high on eagle’s wings I’m safe at last

5. The words of wicked men enslave Their throats are like an open grave With their tongues they snatch their prey And lead them astray Hold the wicked guilty, LORD Let them die by their own sword Far outside Mount Zion’s gate LORD, let them fall

6. In Your temple You are near I will bow in holy fear

7. Let my cry come to your ears Set me free from all my fears Lead me on in righteousness And hold me fast By Your grace I’ll live and sing Loud hosannas daily bring Lifted high on eagle’s wings I’m safe at last

8. Under Your wings You are my shield Let us be glad Those who will yield Who love Your name Your grace revealed

9. Let my cry come to your ears Set me free from all my fears Lead me on in righteousness And hold me fast By Your grace I’ll live and sing Loud hosannas daily bring Lifted high on eagle’s wings I’m safe at last
