To Thee, O Lord, we lift our souls,
To Thee for safety flee;
Let not our foes confound our hopes,
Which all are placed on Thee.
When on the guilt of former years
Our thoughts revolving turn,
The sorrows of our hearts enlarge,
Our troubled spirits mourn.
But grace and mercy reign with Thee,
Surpassing every sin,
mercy to pardon all without,
And grace to cleanse within.
Cover our multitude of sins,
The sins of age and youth;
Reveal thy ways, and teach thy paths,
And guide us in thy truth.
Our anxious eyes and fervent souls
Are fixed on Thee, O Lord!
Let not thy people plead in vain,
Nor trust in vain thy word.
