Text:	To thee I lift my soul
Tune:	BREDON
Composer:	Henry John Gauntlett, 1805-1876

1 To thee I lift my soul;
2 O Lord, I trust in thee:
my God, let me not be ashamed,
nor foes exult o’er me.
3 Let none that wait on thee
be put to shame at all;
But those that without cause transgress,
let shame upon them fall.

4 Show me thy ways, O Lord;
thy paths O teach thou me:
5 and do thou lead me in thy truth,
therein my teacher be:
for thou art God that dost
to me salvation send,
and I upon thee all the day
expecting do attend.

6 Thy tender mercies, Lord,
to mind do thou recall,
and loving-kindnesses, for they
have been through ages all.
7 My sins and faults of youth
do thou, O Lord, forget:
after thy mercy think on me,
and for thy goodness great.
