Judge Me, O God, and Plead My Cause (Barlow)

Judge me

O God

and plead my cause

Against a sin­ful race;

From vile op­press­ion and de­ceit

Secure me by Thy grace.

From vile op­press­ion and de­ceit

Secure me by Thy grace.

On Thee my stead­fast hope de­pends

And am I left to mourn?

To sink in sor­rows and in vain

Implore Thy kind re­turn?

To sink in sor­rows and in vain

Implore Thy kind re­turn?

O send Thy light to guide my feet

And bid Thy truth ap­pear;

Conduct me to Thy ho­ly hill

And taste Thy mer­cies there.

Conduct me to Thy ho­ly hill

And taste Thy mer­cies there.

Then to Thy al­tar

oh my God

My joy­ful feet shall rise

And my tri­umph­ant songs shall praise

The God that rules the skies.

And my tri­umph­ant songs shall praise

The God that rules the skies.
