Lord, how long with sorrows vex’d
Daily shall my heart complain?
While my anxious soul perplex’d
Counsel takes, but takes in vain?
How will all my foes rejoice,
If my sinking spirit fails;
boasting, with triumphant voice,
“See, our arm of power prevails!”
But on mercy I rely,
Mercy, Heavenly Lord, impart;
Mercy brings salvation nigh,
Mercy shall rejoice my heart:
Lord, I lift my voice in praise,
All thy bounty to adore:
From eternity thy grace
Flows, increasing evermore!
