[Verse 1]
D A
From the depths of woe I raise to Thee

The voice of lamentation;

If Thou iniquities dost mark,
Bm G
Our secret sins and misdeeds dark,

To wash away the crimson stain,
Bm G
Grace, grace alone availeth;

Our works, alas! Are all in vain;

In much the best life faileth;

No man can glory in Thy sight,
Bm G
All must alike confess Thy might,
[Hook]

And live alone by mercy(Live alone by mercy)

Therefore my trust is in the Lord,
Bm G
And not in mine own merit;

On Him my soul shall rest, His word

Upholds my fainting spirit;

His promised mercy is my fort,
Bm G
My comfort and my sweet support;
[Hook]

I wait for it with patience(Wait for it with patience)

I wait for it with patience(Wait for it with patience)
[Verse 4]
D A
What though I wait the live-long night,
Bm G
And til the dawn appeareth
D A
My heart still trusteth in His might;
Bm G
It doubteth not nor feareth;
G A
Do thus, O ye of Israels seed,
Bm G
Ye of the Spirit born indeed;
[Hook]
D A G A (D)
And wait til God appeareth(Wait til God appeareth)
D A G A (D)
And wait til God appeareth(Wait til God appeareth)
[Verse 5]
D A
Though great our sins and sore our woes
Bm G
His grace much more aboundeth;
D A
His helping love no limit knows,
Bm G
Our upmost need it soundeth.
G A
Our Shepherd good and true is He,
Bm G
Who will at last His Israel free
[Hook]
D A G A (D)
From all their sin and sorrow(All their sin and sorrow)
D A G A (D)
From all their sin and sorrow(All their sin and sorrow)
