When at Night I Cry Out--June 5, 2020

God of my salvation,

you are in heaven, and I upon earth,

but when at night I cry out to you,

let my prayer come before you.

When I become frightened

and am beginning to sink,

incline your ear to my cry.

Remind me of what you

have promised through

faith in Jesus Christ—

you will be with me.
