God’s heav¤y hand up¤on me laid;
Af¤flic¤tion with temp¤ta¤tion,
Is now my por¤tion till I trust
And trust¤ing is sal¤va¤tion.

While pros¤trate in the dust I lie,
This is my con¤so¤la¤tion,
Mine eyes be¤hold the Lamb of God–
In Him is my sal¤va¤tion.

God’s heav¤y hand up¤on me laid,
In si¤lent res¤ig¤na¤tion
I kiss the hand that bears me down,
The hand of my sal¤va¤tion.

How great is God, how mean I am
In this con¤sid¤er¤a¤tion;
I lay my hand up¤on my mouth,
Ac¤knowl¤edge His sal¤va¤tion.

God’s heav¤y hand up¤on me laid,
There must be trib¤u¤la¤tion;
To bear His im¤age on that day
Shall con¤sum¤mate sal¤va¤tion.

’Neath His Al¤might¤y hand I pray
With ear¤nest sup¤pli¤ca¤tion,
Let not my will, but Thine be done,
Thou God of my sal¤va¤tion.

God’s heav¤y hand up¤on me laid
Com¤pletes my des¤o¤la¤tion,
But from the dust there shall a¤rise
A glo¤rious new cre¤a¤tion.

There is none Ho¤ly as the Lord
In prince¤ly ex¤al¤ta¤tion,
He lifts the beg¤gar to the throne,
To show him His sal¤va¤tion.
