105 | The Psalter#106 | 107 |
Text: | Chastened Submission |
Tune: | DULCE DOMUM |
Composer: | Robert S. Ambrose |
1 What wait I for but Thee?
My hope is in thy Name;
From all my sins deliver me,
Nor put my soul to shame.
2 I suffered silently,
Because Thy will is best;
Remove Thy heavy stroke from me,
For I am sore distressed.
3 When sin thou dost repay
And chasten and restrain,
Man's beauty quickly fades away;
Yea, human life is vain.
4 O Lord, regard my fears,
And answer my request;
Turn not in silence from my tears,
But give the mourner rest.
5 I am a stranger here,
Dependent on Thy grace,
A pilgrim, as my fathers were,
With no abiding place.
6 O spare me and restore
My failing strength, I pray;
Ere I go hence and be no more,
The hand of judgment stay.
