Pardoning Grace

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 130

Verse 1

From deep distress and troubled thoughts, to you, my God, I raise my cries! If you severely mark our faults, no one could stand before your eyes.

Verse 2

My hope is fixed upon your word; nor shall I trust your word in vain; all yearning souls can trust you, Lord, and find relief from sin and pain.

Verse 3

You turn our feet from sinful ways, forgive the wrongs our hands have done. How great the love, how large the grace that gives redemption through your Son!
