Psalms of Grace ‎#79a

79a. Low in the Dust

1 Low in the dust, O LORD, we lie,
O'erwhelmed beneath Thy chastening rod;
Yet to Thy throne we humbly cry,
Yet look for all to God, our God!

2 How long shall we Thy rescue crave,
And Thou refuse Thy grace Divine?
Arise, Thy suffering Church to save,
And scatter all her foes and Thine!

3 Our past neglect no more reprove,
Our countless sins forget, forgive;
Shine forth once more a God of love;
Break off our bonds, and bid us live.

4 Accept the captive's lonely plea;
The contrite sinner's hopes restore.
Be Thine to guide, to guard, to free;
Be ours to praise Thee evermore.
