And shall I sit alone,
Oppressed with grief and fear;
To God my Father make my moan,
And he refuse to hear?
If he my Father be,
His pity he will show;
From cruel bondage set me free,
And inward peace bestow.
If still he silence keep,
‘Tis but my faith to try;
He knows and feels whene’er I weep,
And softens every sigh.
Then when I humbly wait,
Nor once indulge despair;
My sins are great, but not so great
As his compassions are.
