Tune: | SONG 67 (ST. MATTHIAS) |
Composer: | Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625) |
1 Lord, from the depths to Thee I cried:
My voice, Lord, do Thou hear:
Unto my supplication's voice
Give an attentive ear.
2 Lord, who shall stand, if Thou, O Lord,
Shouldst mark iniquity?
But yet with Thee forgiveness is,
That feared Thou mayest be.
3 I wait for God, my soul doth wait;
My hope is in His word.
More than they that for morning watch,
My soul waits for the Lord;
4 I say, more than they that do watch
The morning light to see.
Let Israel hope in the Lord,
For with Him mercies be.
5 Redemption also plenteous
Is ever found with Him:
And from all his iniquities
He Israel shall redeem.
Amen.
