| Lyrics: Psalm 102paraphrased in sonnet by Francesco Bembo,english'd by R.H. Hearken O Lord unto mine humble plainings, Hide not thy face for ever in thine anger: My days do vade as smoke, my heart in languor, Here (flies) to thee: why shun'st thou my complainings? Friends have I none; now from me all are flying: In stead of bread I have been fed with ashes, My drink my tears,; while I have felt the lashes Of thy fierce wrath, for all mine often crying. All kings and nations shall admire thy glory, When thou the sighs of humble souls attendest; It shall be writ in an eternal story. Ah! Leave me not, thou, thou that all defendest, That madest all (heav'n, earth, and ocean hoary): That never didst begin, and never endest. |
