Waiting for Pardon and Direction

Verse 1

I lift my soul to God, My trust is in His name; Let not my foes that seek my blood Still triumph in my shame.

Verse 2

From the first dawning light Till the dark evening rise, For Thy salvation, Lord, I wait With ever longing eyes.

Verse 3

Remember all Thy grace, And lead me in Thy truth; Forgive the sins of riper days, And follies of my youth.

Verse 4

The Lord is just and kind; The meek shall learn His ways, And every humble sinner find The methods of His grace.

Verse 5

For His own goodness' sake He saves my soul from shame; He pardons, though my guilt be great, Through my Redeemer’s name.
