Forgive my Sin, for it is great, O Lord, for thy Name's sake. The Man that fears the Lord, he'll teach The Way that he should take. His Soul serene shall dwell at Ease; His Seed the Earth possess. His Secrets God his Saints will teach; And shew his Cov'nant Grace. Mine Eyes are ever to the Lord; My Feet from Snares he'll free. Turn to me, for I'm sore distress'd; Have Mercy, Lord, on me. The Troubles of my Heart are great; From all my Soul retrieve. View mine Affliction, and my Pain; And all my Sins forgive. Observe my Foes; they many are, And cruelly me hate. O save my Soul, free me from shame; On Thee I hopeful wait. Sincere, and upright, keep my Soul; I wait thy Grace to see. Redeem thine Isr'el, mighty God, From all his Troubles free.
