[Jim Thompson]

Looking for the words to Hear O Lord, Starts out "Hear O Lord, the sound of my call. Hear O Lord and have mercy." Also the words to " Shout from the highest mountain"
These were a couple tunes we sang in guitar Mass back in the late 60s. Guess Im dating myself.
Thanks

Better late than never.....I was just looking for this myself. If anyone finds the chords? I wish I could find my old folkmass book. I may be able to figure my own ? out. I'll let you know....blessing, Babz

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

Every night before I sleep
I pray my soul to take
Or else I pray that loneliness
Is gone when I awake.

Why do I no longer feel
Like I've a place to stay?
O take me where someone will care
So fear will go away.

In you 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.

ok, here it is, knew I remembered it! God Bless!
