Lord, my God, how long by thee
Shall I quite forgotten be?
Lord, how long? -for ever?-say-
Wilt thou turn thy face away?
Ceaseless thoughts my soul perplex
Daily griefs my spirit vex:
O'er me, lo! my foes bear sway:
Lord, how long? -for ever?-say.
Lord, my God, at length arise;
Mark my sorrows, hear my cries:
Lighten thou my eyes that weep,
Lest, the sleep of death I sleep.
On thy mercy I repose:
Thee my heart her Saviour knows;
Leaps for joy; and hymns thee, Lord,
Thee, her shield and great, reward.
