A song of Hope

C. Stanford

Out of the deep have I called unto Thee, O Lord.

Lord, Hear my voice,

O, let Thine ears consider well

the voice of my complaint.

If Thou Lord, will be extreme

to mark what is done amis:

O Lord, who may abide it?

For there is mercy with Thee,

therefore shalt Thou be feared.

I look for the Lord;

my soul doth wait for Him;

in his word is my trust.

[My soul looketh for the Lord,

more than watchmen wait for the morning.

Let Israel hope in the Lord;]

for with the Lord there is mercy,

and with Him is plentious redemption;

And He shall redeem Israel from all his sins.
