PSALM 25:1-9 METER: CM (86 86) SUGGESTED TUNE: MARTYRDOM or AMAZING GRACE This is the meter for such hymns as "Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed" and "Amazing Grace"
1. To you, O Lord, I lift my soul, O God, in you I trust. Do not let me be put to shame, Don't let my foes exult. 2. Let none who put their trust in you Be ever put to shame; Let treacherous and wanton ones Know only shame and grief. 3. Teach me to know your ways, O Lord; Make them known unto me. Lead me to live according to The truth you have made known. 4. You are my God, who has saved me; I wait for you all day. Be mindful of your mercy, Lord, And of your constant love. 5. You showed your love from long ago. Forgive my youthful sins; According to your steadfast love Remember me, O Lord. 6. The Lord is ever just and good, Leads sinners in his path. He leads the humble to do right And teaches them his way.
