3 If in strict Justice thou shouldest mark, And charge [on man] iniquity; Lord, who shall stand at thy just bar? Or [who] himself [can] justify?
3 If in strict Justice thou should'st mark, And charge [on man] iniquity; Lord, who shall stand at thy just bar? Or [who] himself [can] justifie?
4 But with thee there forgiveness is, Thy word [of grace] doth this declare; That sinful man may worship thee In [joyful] hope without despair.
5 Therefore for thee, O Lord, I wait, My soul doth [daily] wait on thee; And on thy sure and faithful word My [constant] hope shall placed be.
6 My soul more waiteth on the Lord Than they that watch for [morning] light; More than the watchful man doth long To see a [pleasant] morning bright.
