Lord, I lift my soul to Thee,
O my God, I trust Thy might;
Let not foes ex­ult o’er me,
Shame me not be­fore their sight.
Yea, may none be put to shame,
None who wait for Thee to bless,
But dis­hon­ored be their name
Who with­out a cause trans­gress.

Lord, to me Thy ways make known,
Guide in truth and teach Thou me;
Thou my Sav­ior art alone,
All the day I wait for Thee.
Lord, re­mem­ber in Thy love
All Thy mer­cies ma­ni­fold,
Tender mer­cies from above,
Changeless from the days of old.

Sins of youth re­mem­ber not,
Nor my tres­pass­es re­cord;
Let not mer­cy be for­got,
For Thy good­ness’ sake, O Lord.
Just and good the Lord abides,
He His way will sin­ners show,
He the meek in jus­tice guides,
Making them His way to know.
