You Bend With Ready Ear
Resources
Lyrics
Verse 1
Almighty, everlasting God,
Who sent Your Son below,
You bend with ready ear to hear
The longings of my soul
For by His suff’ring, pain, and woe,
He’s opened heaven’s door,
That weak and wounded, sick and sore
Might come before Your throne.
Verse 2
O Maker of the skies above
And of the earth You know,
In mercy now receive my prayer:
Your loving help bestow;
Amid my darkness, pain, and woe,
Shine forth Your light of hope:
The radiant glory of Your Son,
The beam of heaven’s joys.
Verse 3
O Ruler of the raging storm,
Of tempest unrestrained,
In power now subdue my will,
Cause me to love your ways.
O feed me, satisfy my soul
With heav’n’s unending store:
With Jesus, manna from above,
With Your eternal Word.
Verse 4
All glory be to God above,
To Father, Spirit, Son;
All praise and prayer be lifted high,
And rise unto your throne.
I bring my need, I bend the knee
Of my unworthy heart,
O save me, keep me, help, relieve,
O Lord, abide with me.
