1. Hear my cry I pray to thee@ And my voice inclines your ear@ Hold me and have mercy upon me (x2)@ For You O' Lord I'm in great need (x2)@ # 2. My soul is troubled in the deep@ And my eyes are full of tears@ Now I remember you indeed (x2)@ For your salvation is near (x2)@ # 3. All the waves came upon me@ I was drowned in the deep sea@ I asked for help where it could be (x2)@ But in the hands of my dear Lord (x2)@ # 4. My heart is trembling in great fear@ And my head is wrapped in weeds@ Out of the depths I cried to Thee (x2)@ Save my soul and set me free (x2)@ # 5. God ordered the whale in the sea@ To safely drop Jonah in peace@ In the whale's belly Jonah kneels (x2)@ And thank the Lord for his great deeds (x2)@ #
