From The Depths My Prayer Ascendeth

From the depths my prayer ascendeth

Unto God on high;

Hear, O Lord, my supplication

And my cry.

None can stand unscathed and blameless

In Thy judgment just,

But the contrite in Thy mercy

Humbly trust.

Lord, my hope is in Thy promise,

And I wait for Thee

More than they who watch for morning,

Light to see.

With the Lord is tender mercy,

And redeeming love;

Israel, look for full salvation

From above.
