Lord, while before thee falling,
Oh hear my sad complaint;
Regard me now I’m calling,
For I am weak and faint.
The case that I’m relating,
In full of deep distress;
My sorrows unabating,
Admit of no redress.
My numerous sins alarming,
Are ever in my sight;
Of mortal strength disarming,
Involving me in night.
Oh be thou all propitious
And chase my fears away;
Look down with smiles suspicious,
And turn my night to day.
Be thou to distant ages,
The contrite sinners’ friend,
And when the tempest rages,
Their drooping souls defend.
Then we with adoration,
Will own thy wondrous love,
Rehearse thy great salvation,
And sing thy praise above.
