1 O thou that dost in secret see, Regard a dying sinner's prayer, Out of the deep I cry to thee-- Save, or I perish in despair.
2 Weeping, to Thee I left mine eyes, Mine eyes which fail with looking up, For thee my heart laments and sighs-- Sick with desire and lingering hope.
3 O that I could but surely know If I at last shall mercy find! For what am I reserv'd below? Tell me, thou Saviour of mankind!
4 Let others walk with thee in light, But bless me with one parting ray, And ere I close mine eyes in night, Give me to see thy perfect day.Source: Hymns, Selected and Original: for public and private worship (1st ed.) #284
