Out of the Deep I Cry to Thee

Author: Benjamin La Trobe, 1725-1786; Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Out of the deep I cry to Thee, My God, with heart’s contrition; Bow down Thine ear in grace to me, And hear Thou my petition; For if in judgment Thou wilt try Man’s sin and great iniquity, Ah, who can stand before Thee. 2 To gain remission of our sin, No work of ours availeth; God’s favor we may strive to win, But all our labor faileth; We’re ‘midst our fairest actions lost, And none ‘fore Him of aught can boast. We live alone through mercy. 3 Therefore my hope is in His grace And not in my own merit; On Him my confidence I place, Instructed by His Spirit; His precious Word hath promised me He will my Joy and Comfort be; Thereon is my reliance. 4 Though sin with us much abound, Yet grace still more aboundeth; Sufficient help in Christ is found, Where sin most deeply woundeth. He the good Shepherd is indeed, Who His lost sheep doth seek and lead With tender love and pity. Topics: The Life in Christ Repentance and Confession of Sin Used With Tune: DE PROFUNDIS
