Full Lyrics
ANTIPHON
Yes, I shall arise and return to my Father!
VERSE 1
To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul;
In you, O my God, I place all my trust.
VERSE 2
Look down on me, have mercy, O Lord;
Forgive me my sins, behold all my grief.
VERSE 3
My heart and soul shall yearn for your face;
Be gracious to me and answer my plea.
VERSE 4
Do not withhold your goodness from me;
O Lord, may your love be deep in my soul.
VERSE 5
To you I pray; have pity on me;
My God, I have sinned against your great love.
VERSE 6
Mercy, I cry, O Lord, wash me clean;
And whiter than snow my spirit shall be.
VERSE 7
Give me again the joy of your help;
Now open my lips, your praise I will sing.
VERSE 8
Happy is he forgiven by God;
His sins blotted out, his guilt is no more.
