1 I lift my soul to God,
My trust is in his name;
Let not my foes that seek my blood
Still triumph in my shame.
2 Sin and the power's of hell
Persuade me to despair:;
LORD make me know thy covenant well,
That I may ’scape the snare.
3 From gleams of dawning light
Till the dark evening rise,
For thy salvation, Lord, I wait,
With ever longing eyes.
4 Remember all thy grace,
And lead me in thy truth;
Forgive the sins of riper days,
And follies of my youth.
5 The Lord is just and kind,
The meek shall learn his ways,
And every humble sinner find
The methods of his grace.
6 For his own goodness sake
He saves my soul from shame;
He pardons (tho' my guilt be great)
Thro' my Redeemer’s name.
