Text:To thee, O Lord, I lift mine eyes
Tune:PATER OMNIUM
Composer:Henry J. E. Holmes

540. To thee, O Lord, I lift mine eyes

1 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.

2 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.

Amen.
