1How long shall my dejected soul,
2(Dear God) in
dust1
and darkness roll,3Without one ray
4Of thy eternal love and light
5To conquer these sad shades of night?
6That endless day
7In my forsaken soul may shine,
8The
hallelujah2
shall be thine;9Oh then look down
10Upon a ruined heap of dust,
11Slave to those tyrants,
Death and Lust3
;12My hopes, Oh
crown4
.13My God vouchsafe to enfranchise me.
14Let me no more a vassal be
15To sin and pain.
16These vanities I fain would leave,
17Oh then my weary soul receive,
18With Thee to reign
19In those celestial joys above,
20Involved with glory, life and love,
21And then Thy praise
22(My everlasting God and King)
23To all eternity I’ll sing
24In
unknown lays5
.
