Lyrics from the Hymnal for Young Christians publication:
Chorus:
Hear, O Lord, the sound of my call;
Hear, O Lord and have mercy
My soul is longing for
the glory of you.
O hear, O Lord and answer me.
Ev’ry night before I sleep
I pray my soul to take,
Or else I pray that loneliness
Is gone when I awake.
Now I do always feel like
I have a place to stay!
O take me where someone will care,
So fear will go away.
In you, O Lord, I place my cares,
And all my troubles too.
O grant, dear Lord, that some day soon
I’ll live in peace with you.
