16792. Out Of The Depths

1 Out of the depths, oh Lord, my God!
I, help­less, cry to Thee;
Hear Thou my hum­ble, sup­pli­ant word,
And still at­tent­ive be.

2 If Thou, oh, Lord! should’st stern­ly mark
The heart’s ini­qui­ty,
Oh, who shall stand when tro­ubles dark
O’erhang life’s stor­my sea?

3 But, that Thou may’st be ev­er feared,
Forgiveness is with Thee:
My soul waits for the liv­ing Lord,
Unto His word I flee.

4 Far more than they that anx­ious watch
For morn­ing’s ris­ing hour,
My wait­ing soul doth long to catch
The spir­it of His pow’r.

5 Let Is­ra­el hope, my God, in Thee,
For Thou hast mer­cy still;
And plen­te­ous grace, re­demp­tion free,
Attend up­on Thy will.

6 He shall from all ini­qui­ty
Redeem His Is­ra­el’s host,
Give crowns of glo­ry to the free,
Salvation to the lost.
