St. Louis Jesuits - The Cry of the Poor

The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord.
The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord.

I will bless the Lord at all times,
with praise ever in my mouth.
Let my soul glory in the Lord,
who will hear the cry of the poor.

The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord.

Let the lowly hear and be glad:
the Lord listens to their pleas
and to hearts broken, God is near,
who will hear the cry of the poor.

The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord.

Ev'ry spirit crushed, God will save
will be ransom for their lives
will be safe shelter for their fears,
for He hears the cry of the poor.

The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord.
We proclaim your greatness, O God,
His praise ever in our mouth
ev'ry face brightened in your light,
for he hears the cry of the poor.

The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord.
