Thy love and grace alone avail (Ps. 130:4)
To blot out my transgressions (Ps. 32:1, Ps. 51:1-2, Isa. 43:25, Eph. 2:8-9)
The best and holiest deeds must fail (Rom. 11:6)

Ye of the Spirit born indeed
Wait for Your God’s appearing (Ps. 130:5-6, Isa. 25:9)

Though great our sins and sore our woes
His grace much more aboundeth (Ps. 130:7, Rom. 5:20)

Our utmost need it soundeth
Our shepherd good and true is He (John 10:11, Ezek. 34:11-16)
Who will at last His Israel free (Ps. 130:8)
From all their sin and sorrow (Ps. 130:8)
