Refrain:
Yes, I shall arise, and return to my father.
- To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
In you, O My God, I place all my trust. - Look down on me, have mercy O Lord.
Forgive me my sins, behold all my grief. - My heart and soul shall yearn for yourface,
Be gracious to me and answer my plea. - Do not withhold your goodness from me,
O Lord may your love be deep in my soul. - To you I pray have pity on me,
My God I have sinned against your great love. - Mercy I cry, O Lord, wash me clean;
And whiter than snow my spirit shall be. - Give me again the joy of your help,
Now open my lips your praise I will sing. - Happy is he forgiven by God,
His sins blotted out, his wilt is no more. - You are my joy, my refuge and strength,
Let all upright heart give praise to the Lord. - My soul will sing, my heart will rejoice,
The blessing of God will fill all my days.
