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
