From deep despair to you I call
1 From deep despair to you I call!
LORD, hear me when I cry!
O turn your ear to hear my voice
which pleads with you on high!
2 O LORD, if you record our sins,
who ever could be spared?
But mercy may be found with you,
that you may then be feared.
3 Now for the LORD my spirit waits,
my hope is in his word;
more than the watchmen wait for dawn
my soul waits for the LORD.
4 O Israel, hope in God the LORD!
His grace is full and free,
and pays the price to ransom us
from all iniquity.
