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.
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.
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.
