"Hear my cry, Oh Lord" is reminiscent of the hymn, O God, Regard My Humble Plea. (And others, psalms 61:1 and 61:2 are often referred to.)

First verse:
O God, regard my humble plea:
I cannot be so far from Thee
But Thou wilt hear my cry;
When I by trouble am distressed,
Then lead me on the Rock to rest
That higher is than I.

Words: The Psalter. Music- Meribah, Lowell Mason 1839.

From "The Psalter"
Exaudi, Deus [668]
1
Hear my cry, O God,
and listen to my prayer.
2
I call upon you from the ends of the earth
with heaviness in my heart;
set me upon the rock that is higher than I.
3
For you have been my refuge, etc....

Psalm 61:1- "Hear my cry, O God: listen to my prayer."
Psalm 61:2- "Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I."

Here is the refrain from one written during the Financial Panic of 1871.
The Rock That Is Higher Than I
Erastus Johnson, music W. G. Fischer

O then to the Rock let me fly
To the Rock that is higher than I
O then to the Rock let me fly
To the Rock that is higher than I!
