1 Out of the deep I call
To thee, O Lord, to Thee.
Before Thy throne of grace I fall;
Be merciful to me.

2 Out of the deep I cry,
The woful deep of sin,
Of evil done in days gone by,
Of evil now within.

3 Out of the deep of fear
And dread of coming shame,
From morning watch till night is near
I plead the precious Name.

4 Lord, there is mercy now,
As ever was, with Thee;
Before Thy throne of grace I bow;
Be merciful to me.

Amen.
