I love Thee, Lord, for Thou dost heed my plea, Forgiving all. If Thou shouldst mark our sins, who then shall stand? But grace and mercy dwell at Thy right hand. 2 I wait for God, the Lord, and on His word My hope relies; My soul still waits and looks unto the Lord Till light arise. I look for Him to drive away my night, Yea, more than watchmen look for morning light. 3 Hope in the Lord, ye waiting saints, and He Will well provide; For mercy and redemption full and free With Him abide. From sin and evil, mighty though they seem, His arm almighty will His saints redeem. Scripture: Psalm 130 Used With Tune: SANDON

Contrite Trust

Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Aspirations For Grace; Christians Saved by Grace; Grace Growth in; Prayer For Grace and Salvation First Line: Lord, hear me in distress Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear me in distress, Regard my suppliant cry, And in Thy faithfulness And righteousness reply. In judgment do not cause Thy servant to be tried; Before Thy holy laws No man is justified. 2 The enemy has sought My soul in dust to tread; To darkness I am brought, Forgotten as the dead. My spirit, crushed with grief, Is sad and overborne; My heart finds no relief, But desolate I mourn. 3 Recalling former days And all Thy wondrous deeds, The mem'ry of Thy ways To hope and comfort leads. to Thee I stretch my hands, Let me not plead in vain; I wait as weary lands Wait for refreshing rain. 4 My failing spirit see, O Lord, to me make haste; Hide not Thy face from me, Lest bitter death I taste, O let the morn return, Let mercy light my day; For Thee in faith I yearn, O guide me in the way. 5 Lord, save me from my foe, To Thee for help I flee; Teach me Thy way to know, I have no God but Thee. By Thy good Spirit lead From trouble and distress, My erring feet shall tread The path of uprightness. 6 O Lord, for Thy Name's sake Revive my fainting heart; My soul from trouble take, For just and true Thou art. Remove my enemy, My cruel foe reward; In mercy rescue me Who am Thy servant, Lord. Scripture: Psalm 143 Used With Tune: BRADBURY

(Refrain) 3 Now I've giv'n to Jesus everything; Now I gladly own Him as my King; Now my raptured soul can only sing Of Calvary. (Refrain) 4 O, the love that drew salvation's plan! O, the grace that brought it down to man! O, the mighty gulf that God did span At Calvary. (Refrain) Used With Tune: [Years I spent in vanity and pride]
