From whence proceed these pensive sighs,
These cloudy looks and mournful cries?
The God of truth and righteousness
Withholds the tokens of his grace.
No promise cheers my anxious breast,
With heavy loads of guilt oppressed;
My heart defiled, my lips unclean,
I mourn the prevalence of sin.
Prostrate, oh God, before thy throne,
To thee I make my sorrows know;
My strength is gone, my spirit faints,
Attentive hear my sad complaints.
Thou source of happiness divine,
Revive this languid heart of mine;
Thy grace and mercy I implore,
Oh save, and let me sigh no more.
