459. Lord, from the Depths to You I Cry

1 Lord, from the depths to you I cry;
My voice, Lord, you will hear:
Unto my supplication’s voice
Give an attentive ear.

2 Lord, who shall stand, if you, O Lord,
Should mark iniquity?
But yet with you forgiveness is,
That feared you still may be.

3 I wait for God, my soul does wait,
My hope is in his word.
More than they who for morning watch,
My soul waits for the Lord;

4 I say, more than all they who watch
The morning light to see.
Let Israel hope in the Lord,
For with him mercies be.

5 Redemption also plenteous
Is ever found with him:
And from all his iniquities
He Israel shall redeem.

Amen.
