Lyrics

Refrain
Like burning incense, O Lord,
let my prayer rise up, rise up to you.
Like burning incense, O Lord,
let my prayer rise up, rise up to you.
1. Lord, I've called to you;
come to help me.
Hear my voice when I cry to you.
Let my prayer arise before you like incense,
the raising of my hands like an evening oblation.
2. Set, O Lord, a guard over my mouth;
keep watch at the door of my lips!
Do not turn my heart to things that are wrong,
to evil deeds with those who are sinners.
3. To you, Lord God, my eyes are turned;
in you I take refuge; spare my soul!
From the trap they've laid keep me safe,
from the snares of those who do evil.
4. Glory to the Father and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
As it was, is now and ever shall be
forever. Amen. Amen.
