Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 130 Lyrics: 1 From the deep places, hear my cry,
those hidden depths of guilt within:
O God of mercy, God Most High,
keep no account of all my sin.
2 Before your glory none can stand,
no mortal eye behold your face:
extend to me your kingly hand,
the sovereign touch of saving grace.
3 O Lord, in whom all needs are met,
draw near in love to me, I pray,
for on your word my hopes are set,
as watchmen wait for coming day.
4 As watchmen wait till dawn appears,
so God's redeeming love is shown;
to shed, unfailing through the years,
the dew of blessing on his own. Topics: God in grace and mercy; Hope; Lent; Longing; Penitence; Sin; The First Sunday of Lent Year C Used With Tune: BRESLAU
