This hymn is in honor of its composer, George Frederick Handel, born February 23, 1685. (Which is, by the way, the same year J.S. Bach was born.) To see additional verses and hear the melody, go to the link below.
"O Lord, Make Haste to Hear My Cry"
O Lord, make haste to hear my cry,
To Thee I call, on Thee rely.
Incline to me a gracious ear,
And, when I call, in mercy hear.
When in the morning unto Thee
I lift my voice and bring my plea,
Then let my prayer as incense rise
To God enthroned above the skies.
When unto Thee I look and pray
With lifted hands at close of day,
Then as the evening sacrifice
Let my request accepted rise.
