LyicsOut of the depths of wo,
To thee, O Lord! I cry;
Darkness surrounds thee, but I know
That thou art ever nigh.
Like them I watch and pray,
Who for the morning long;
Catch the first gleam of welcome day,
Then burst into a song.
Glory to God above!
The waters soon will cease;
For lo, the swift returning dove
Brings home the sign of peace!
Though storms thy face obscure,
And dangers threaten loud,
Thy holy covenant is sure;
Thy bow is in the cloud!
