From the Depths Do I Invoke Thee

From the depths do I in­voke Thee

Lord

to me in­cline Thine ear;

To my voice be Thou at­tent­ive

And my sup­pli­ca­tions hear.

Lord

if Thou shouldst mark trans­gress­ions

In Thy pre­sence who shall stand?

But with Thee there is for­give­ness

That Thy name may fear com­mand.

For Je­ho­vah I am wait­ing

And my hope is in His Word;

In His Word of pro­mise giv­en

Yea

my soul waits for the Lord.

For the Lord my soul is wait­ing

More than watch­ers in the night;

More than they for morn­ing watch­ing

Watching for the morn­ing light.

Hope in God

ye wait­ing peo­ple

Mercies great in Him ab­ound;

With the Lord a full re­demp­tion

From the guilt of sin is found.
