When my cries ascend to thee,
Hear, Jehovah, from afar;
Let thy tender mercies be
Still propitious to my prayer!
When thou bad'st me seek thy face,
Quickly did my heart reply,
Resting on thy word of grace,
" Thee I'll seek, O Lord most high.
Should the world deceitful prove,
When no more its help I share;
Though decayed a mother's love,
Though withdrawn a father's care
Then Jehovah's guardian eye
Shall my orphan state defend,
Shall a parent's place supply,
He my guardian, father, friend!
