Verse 1
To Thee, O Lord, my Soul I raise,
I trust in Thee for Pardning Grace,
Ah put me not to shame,
Ah do not let my Sins prevail,
Let none who wait thy Mercy fail,
But all who hate thy Name.

Verse 2
Thy Ways to me, O Jesu, shew,
And teach me in thy Paths to go,
Direct my willing Heart,
O GOD of my Salvation, lead
A Soul that in thy Steps would tread,
Nor evermore depart.

Verse 3
All the Day long I wait on Thee,
In tender Love remember me,
And save me by thy Grace;
Forgive, forget my Follies past,
Behind thy Back in Mercy cast,
And all my Sins efface.

Verse 4
The righteous Lord is kind and good,
Sinners who faint beneath their Load
He therefore will relieve,
Instruct, and grant them Power t’ obey,
Whom first He brings into his Way,
And freely doth forgive.

Verse 5
The Meek He will in Mercy guide,
Nor let the Lame be turn’d aside,
Who now their Burthen feel;
Mercy, and Truth are all his Ways,
To them that keep his pardning Grace,
And love to do his Will.

Verse 6
Thy Will, O GOD, I fain would do,
To me thy pardning Mercy shew,
For which I ever wait;
Forgive me for thy glorious Name,
Because I a meer Sinner am,
Because my Sin is great.

Verse 7
What Man is He that fears the Lord?
Divinely taught his utmost Word
He all his Will shall prove,
His Soul shall dwell in perfect Peace,
His Seed shall the New Earth possess,
The Paradice of Love.

Verse 8
The Secret of the Lord is known
To humble trembling Souls alone,
Pierc’d thro’ with filial Fear,
He will to Them his Cove’nant shew,
Ordain’d his Sinless Life to know,
And bear his Image here.

Verse 9
Mine Eyes to GOD I ever lift,
I humbly wait the Heavenly Gift
Which shall my Guilt remove,
From all the Toils of Hell set free,
Redeem from All Iniquity,
And perfect me in Love.

Verse 10
Turn to me, Lord, in Mercy turn,
While with redoubled Grief I mourn,
My troubled Heart relieve;
Look on my Pain with pitying Eye,
My Load remove, my Guilt pass by,
And all my Sins forgive.

Verse 11
Regard my cruel countless Foes,
While Fiends, and Men, and Sins oppose,
My constant Saviour prove,
O let me not be put to shame,
Who trust in thine Almighty Name
And hang upon thy Love.

Verse 12
Preserve my waiting Soul in Peace,
Thine Image of true Holiness
To me, to All restore,
An End of Sin let Israel see,
From all his Troubles sav’d by Thee
Let Israel sin no more.
