Christ My Song - 214
O Lord, in thee is all my trust
(John Chandler/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
O Lord, in thee is all my trust.
1. O Lord, in thee is all my trust,
give ear unto my woeful cry,
refuse not me that am unjust,
but, bowing down thy heavenly eye,
behold how I do still lament
my sins, wherein I do offend:
O Lord, for them shall I be shent,
since thee to please I do intend? PDF - Midi
2. Oh, no, not so thy will is bent,
to deal with sinners in thine ire,
but when in heart they shall repent,
thou grantest that which they desire;
to thee, therefore, I still shall cry,
to wash away my sinful crime:
thy blood, O Lord, is not yet dry,
but that it may give help in time.
3. Haste thee, O Lord, haste thee, I say,
to pour on me the gifts of grace:
that when this life shall fleet away,
in heaven with thee I may have place:
where thou dost reign eternally
with God, our Saviour and our friend,
where angels sing continually
"Be praise to thee, world without end."
