The Depths of Woe Lyrics

From depths of woe, I cry to Thee

In trial and tribulation

Bend down Thy gracious ear to me


Lord, hear my supplication

If Thou rememb'rest every sin

Who then could heaven ever win?


Or stand before Thy presence?

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

From the depths of woe

I cry to thee

And though it tarry through the night

And till the morning waken

My heart shall never doubt

His might
Nor count itself forsaken

O Isreal, trust in God your Lord

Born of the Spirit and the Word

Now wait for His appearing

From the depths of woe

I cry to thee

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

From the depths of woe

I cry to thee

From the depths of woe

I cry to thee

From the depths of woe

I cry to thee

From the depths of woe

I cry to thee

Though great our sins, yet greater still

Is God's abundant favor

His hand of mercy never will

Abandon us, nor waver

Our shepherd, good and true is He

Who will at last His people free

From all their sin and sorrow

From the depths of woe

I cry to thee

From the depths of woe

I cry to thee
