Title: From the deeps of grief and fear

Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

From the deeps of grief and fear 
From the deeps of grief and fear, O Lord ! to Thee my soul repairs : From Thy heaven bow down Thine ear ; Let Thy mercy meet my prayers. 
Oh if Thou mark'st What's done amiss, What soul so pure, Can see Thy bliss ? But with Thee sweet mercy stands, 
Sealing pardons, working fear : Wait, my soul, wait on His hands ; Wait mine eye, Oh ! wait mine ear : 
If He His eye Or tongue affords, Watch all His looks, Catch all His words. As a watchman waits for day, 
And looks for light, and looks again ; When the night grows cold and gray, To be relieved he calls amain :
