From Depths of Woe I Cry to Thee

Author: Martin Luther; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Christian Worship #130F (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Patience Lyrics: 1 From depths of woe I cry to thee, Lord, hear me, I implore thee. Bend down thy gracious ear to me, my prayer let come before thee. If thou rememb'rest each misdeed, if each should have its rightful meed, who may abide thy presence? 2 Thy love and grace alone avail to blot out my transgression; the best and holiest deeds must fail to break sin's dread oppression. Before thee none can boasting stand, but all must fear thy strict demand and live alone by mercy. 3 Therefore my hope is in the LORD and not in mine own merit; it rests upon his faithful Word to them of contrite spirit that he is merciful and just; this is my comfort and my trust. His help I wait with patience. 4 And though it tarry till the night and till the morning waken, my heart shall never doubt his might nor count itself forsaken. Do thus, O ye of Israel's seed, ye of the Spirit born indeed; wait for your God's appearing. 5 Though great our time and sore our woes, his grace much more aboundeth; his helping love no limit knows, our utmost need it soundeth. Our Shepherd good and true is He, who will at last his Israel free from all their sin and sorrow. Scripture: Psalm 130 Languages: English Tune Title: AUS TIEFER NOT

His promise ever fail? Has he forgot his tender love? Shall anger still prevail? 8 But I forbid this hopeless thought, This dark, despairing frame: Rememb’ring what thy hand hath wrought; Thy hand is still the same. 9 I’ll think again of all thy ways, And talk thy wonders o’er, Thy wonders of recovering grace, When flesh could hope no more. 10 Grace dwelt with justice on the throne; And men that love thy word, Have in thy sanctuary known The counsels of the Lord.
