Psalm XXV. Short Metre. Seeking divine forgiveness and direction

To God I lift my eyes My trust is in his name, And they whose hope on him relies Shall never suffer shame.

From the first dawning light Till the dark evening's shade, For thy salvation, Lord, I wait And ask thy heavenly aid.

Remember all thy grace And lead me in thy truth; Forgive the sins of riper age And follies of my youth.

Thro' all the ways of God, Both truth and mercy shine, To those who with religious hearts To his blest will incline.

He those in safety guides Who his direction seek, And in his sacred paths will lead The humble and the meek.

For thy own goodness sake, Save thou, my soul from shame; And pardon all my sins, tho' great, Thro my Redeemer's name.
