DE PROFUNDIS
From out the deep I've callèd unto thee; Hearken, O Lord! And when I plead, "Have mercy upon me!" Hearken, O Lord! If thou extreme wilt be who may abide?Low bend thine ear whilst I my griefs confide.
I look for thee; for thee doth wait my soul; Hearken, O Lord! For thine atoning love canst make me whole; Hearken, my Lord! Before the night is spent or shadows flee, Ere dawn of day my spirit longs for thee.
O Israel! O Israel, believe In Christ the Lord; The plenteous pardon for thy sins receive, He doth accord; With Him is mercy to supply thy need; When from the deep thou callest He will heed.
