Lord, I Lift My Soul to Thee

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.
