TEXT (excerpts from Psalm 25)
To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul;
O my God, in you I trust.

You are the God of my salvation;

In you I hope all the day long.
O my God, in you I trust.

Remember not the sins of my youth;
According to your mercy, remember me O Lord.

for they are from everlasting.

To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul;

Story Behind the Song

This is a modern choral setting of excerpts from Psalm 25, a biblical prayer of trust, guidance, forgiveness, and hope in God. Thomas Allain-Chapman’s setting uses selected psalm verses, especially the recurring line, “To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.” It is not a traditional hymn with a standard hymn tune name, but an anthem or choral composition based directly on Scripture.
