Abide in thee

As I lift my head to heaven
And there do cast my eyes
Looking for forgiveness
From this life I’ve lived in lies

And come there do I for comfort
Beseech thee I for rest
And ask I now for mercy
For my life I stand in test

Seek ye I your bosom
That I may teary there
To stay I in your comforts
And in your love and care

For tomorrow and forever
And beyond the evers last
In faith am I forgiven
And freed there from my past.

To tread upon tomorrow
To follow now your path
To leave behind the sorrow
And test ye not your wrath
