To Thee, O Lord, I Lift Mine Eyes

To Thee

O Lord

I lift mine eyes

O Thou en­throned ab­ove the skies;

As serv­ants watch their mas­ter’s hand

Or maid­ens by their mis­tress stand;

So to the Lord our eyes we raise

Until His mer­cy He dis­plays.

To Thee

O Lord

I lift mine eyes

O Thou en­throned ab­ove the skies.

O Lord

our God

Thy mer­cy show

For man’s con­tempt and scorn we know;

Reproach and shame Thy saints en­dure

From wick­ed men who dwell se­cure;

Man’s proud con­tempt and scorn we know;

O Lord

our God

Thy mer­cy show.
