He heard my cries, He bowed his ear and chased my griefs away O let my heart no more despair While I have breath breath to pray I love The Lord He chased my griefs away Despair no more and use this breath to pray To pray to pray My flesh declined, my spirits fell And I drew near the dead Return my soul to God thy rest for Thou hast known known His love My God I cried thy servant save Thy power can rescue me from the grave My God hath saved my soul from death and dried my falling tears Now to His praise I'll spend my breath and my remain, remaining years
