Let mercy plead my cause;
Though I have sinn'd against thy grace,
I ne'er forget thy laws.
2 Forbid, forbid the sharp reproach,
Which I so justly fear;
Uphold my life, uphold my hopes,
Not let my shame appear.
3 Be thou a surety, Lord, for me,
Nor let the proud oppress;
But make thy waiting servant see
The shinings of thy face.
4 My eyes with expectation fail;
My heart within me cries,
"When will the Lord his truth fulfil,
"And make my comforts rise?"
5 Look down upon my sorrows, Lord,
And shew thy grace the same;
Thy tender mercies still afford
To those that love thy name. Scripture: Psalm 119:132 Languages: English
Breathing after Comfort and Deliverance
