From The Depths Of Woe

From the depths of woe I raise to Thee
The voice of lamentation

Lord turn a gracious ear to me
And hear my supplication

If Thou iniquities dost mark
Our secret sins and misdeeds dark

Men
Oh who shall stand before Thee?
Women
Who shall stand before Thee?

Men
Oh who shall stand before Thee?
Women
Who shall stand before Thee?

To wash away the crimson stain
Grace grace alone availeth

Our works alas are all in vain
In much the best life faileth

No man can glory in Thy sight
All must alike confess Thy might

Men
And live alone by mercy
Women
Live alone by mercy

Men
And live alone by mercy
Women
Live alone by mercy

Therefore my trust is in the Lord
And not in mine own merit

On Him my soul shall rest
His word upholds my fainting spirit

His promised mercy is my fort
My comfort and my sweet support

Men
I wait for it with patience
Women
Wait for it with patience

Men
I wait for it with patience
Women
Wait for it with patience

What though I wait the live-long night
And 'til the dawn appeareth

My heart still trusteth in His might
It doubteth not nor feareth

Do thus oh ye who art in need
Ye of the Spirit born indeed

Men
And wait til God appeareth
Women
Wait til God appeareth

Men
And wait til God appeareth
Women
Wait til God appeareth

Though great our sins
And sore our woes

His grace much more aboundeth
His helping love no limit knows

Our upmost need it soundeth
Our Shepherd good and true is He

Who will at last his children free

Men
From all their sin and sorrow
Women
All their sin and sorrow

Men
From all their sin and sorrow
Women
All their sin and sorrow
