To Thee, O Lord, I lift mine
eyes,
O Thou enthroned above the
skies;
As servants watch their master’s
hand,
Or maidens by their mistress
stand;
So to the Lord our eyes we
raise,
Until His mercy He displays.
Refrain
To Thee, O
Lord, I lift mine eyes,
O Thou enthroned above the
skies.
O Lord, our God, Thy mercy
show,
For man’s contempt and scorn we
know;
Reproach and shame Thy saints
endure
From wicked men who dwell
secure;
Man’s proud contempt and scorn
we know;
O Lord, our God, Thy mercy show.
Refrain
