Mine Eyes and My Desire from Psalm 25 Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

MY ONLY TRUST (S.M.) Mitch Cervinka* 1998 Score

Mine eyes and my de-sire
   Are ev-er to the Lord;
I love to plead His prom-is-es,
   And rest up-on His Word.

When shall the sov-ereign grace
   Of my for-giv-ing God
Re-store me from those dan-gerous ways
   My wan-dering feet have trod?

The tu-mult of my thoughts
   Doth but en-large my woe;
My spir-it lan-guish-es, my heart
   Is des-o-late and low.

With ev-ery morn-ing light
   My sor-row new be-gins;
Look on my an-guish and my pain,
   And par-don all my sins.

O keep my soul dear Lord,
   Nor put my hope to shame,
For I have placed my on-ly trust
   In my Re-deem-er's Name.
