1. Oh Lord, oh Lord, relieve the distress of the troubled one
Oh Lord, oh Lord, ease the affliction of the afflicted one

2. Oh Lord, oh Lord, Your servant has come complaining
Crying, so let him in, my Lord, with those You love

3. Oh Lord, my life is spent in futility and lies
And earning sins, so save me, my God, with goodness

4. And reach, my God, my heart before it breaks
And endow me with abundant, eternal, flowing grace
