Author: David Mowbray, 1938- Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 130 Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I cry:
O God, remember me!
What earthly help have I
if you watch silently?
2 If you watch silently
and mark things done amiss,
to whom then may I fly
at such a time as this?
3 At such a time as this
my soul waits for the Lord;
no joy is there, no bliss,
without God's saving word.
4 Without God's saving word
all hope forever dies:
speak now, most mighty Lord,
and from the depths I rise!
