1. Hear, O Smith of heavens,
These my supplications.
Softly unto me
Draw Thy charity.
Thus I call on Thee,
For Thou hast crafted me.
Thy mere slave am I,
Thou my Lord on high.

2. God, I call upon Thee:
Hear my pray’r and heal me.
Kindly King, pay heed:
Thou our highest need.
Ruler of all might,
Bountiful, blessed, bright:
Drive all sorrows deep
From my heart’s true keep.

3. Guard us, gentle sovereign,
Need we Thy protection;
Ev’ry moment here
In this world of fear.
Virgin-born, O Thou,
Cleanse ev’ry motive now:
Thine own help impart
Deep into my heart.

Tune name: HEYR HIMNA SMIðUR 6 6. 5 5. 5 6. 5 5.

All vocals by Michael E. Owens. This is an arrangement with melody in falsetto, as a practice track for a church men's group that had a true first tenor singing melody. That was not me!
I record tunes that anyone can sing.
Now that you know the tune, go ahead and sing it.
