Mine Eyes and My Desire
Mine eyes and my de-sire
Are ev-er to the Lord;
I love to plead His prom-is-es,
And rest up-on His Word.
When shall the sov-ereign grace
Of my for-giv-ing God
Re-store me from those dan-gerous ways
My wan-dering feet have trod?
The tu-mult of my thoughts
Doth but en-large my woe;
My spir-it lan-guish-es, my heart
Is des-o-late and low.
With ev-ery morn-ing light
My sor-row new be-gins;
Look on my an-guish and my pain,
And par-don all my sins.
O keep my soul dear Lord,
Nor put my hope to shame,
For I have placed my on-ly trust
In my Re-deem-er's Name.
