Lord, I Lift My Soul to Thee

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

Yea, may none be put to shame, none who wait for thee to bless; but dishonored be their name who without a cause transgress.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 4

Lord, remember in thy love all thy mercies manifold, tender mercies from above, changeless from the days of old.

Verse 5

Sins of youth remember not, nor my trespasses record; let not mercy be forgot, for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.

Verse 6

Just and good the Lord abides, he his way will sinners show; he the meek in justice guides, making them his way to know.

Verse 7

Grace and truth shall mark the way where the Lord his own will lead, if his word they still obey and his testimonies heed.

Verse 8

For thy name's sake hear thou me; for thy mercy, Lord, I wait; pardon my iniquity, for my sin is very great.

Verse 9

He who walks in godly fear in the path of truth shall go; peace shall be his portion here, and his sons all good shall know.
