Before Thy people I confess The wonders of Thy righteousness; Thou knowest, Lord, that I have made Thy great salvation known, Thy truth and faithfulness displayed, Thy lovingkindness shown. Withhold not Thou Thy grace from me, O Lord, Thy mercy let me see, To me Thy lovingkindness show, Thy truth be still my stay; Let them preserve me where I go, And keep me every day. Let all who seek to see Thy face, Be glad and joyful in Thy grace; Let those who Thy salvation love Forevermore proclaim: O praise the Lord Who dwells above, And magnify His Name. Although I poor and needy be, The Lord in love takes thought for me; Thou art my help in time of need, My Savior, Lord, art Thou; Then, O my God, I pray, I plead: Stay not, but save me now. A new and joyful song of praise He taught my thankful heart to raise; And many, seeing me restored, Shall fear the Lord and trust; And blest are they that trust the Lord, The humble and the just. |
