To Thee, O Lord, I lift mine eyes,
O Thou en­throned above the skies;
As servants watch their mas­ter’s hand,
Or maid­ens by their mis­tress stand;
So to the Lord our eyes we raise,
Until His mer­cy He dis­plays.

Refrain

To Thee, O Lord, I lift mine eyes,
O Thou en­throned above the skies.

O Lord, our God, Thy mer­cy show,
For man’s con­tempt and scorn we know;
Reproach and shame Thy saints en­dure
From wick­ed men who dwell se­cure;
Man’s proud con­tempt and scorn we know;
O Lord, our God, Thy mer­cy show.

Refrain
