123. Up to you I lift my eyes

Author: Emma Turl

Up to you I lift my eyes,
high enthroned above the skies:
teach me, Lord, to follow you,
see your hand in all I do.

2. As a servant watches still,
set to know his master’s will:
so we fix our eyes on you,
seek your hand in all we do.

3. As a maid receives command
from her gracious mistress’ hand:
so, our God, we look to you,
seek your hand in all we do.

4. Till you show your mercy, Lord,
as you promised in your word:
may we keep our eyes on you,
seek your hand in all we do.

5. For we have endured much scorn,
from the proud contempt have borne:
yet we seek your will to do,
look for mercy, Lord, from you.
