Come Near to Hear- a poem on Psalm 86

Come near to hear

And take away what I fear

May your gracious hand

Rescue from an evil band


My cry rings out

O let me not doubt

I will not die but live

Now ready to forgive

Your anger comes slow

Such goodness to flow


There is none to compare

No other gods in the air

My mind needs remade

New feelings conveyed

There is no other gladness

It is all but madness

That apart from you

I’ll find anything true


Let your answer be displayed

Those who hate be dismayed

Show clearly your hand

That all understand

My God is my aid

Let the wicked be afraid

Make glad the nations

To all generations
