1How long shall my
dejected1
soul2(Dear God) in dust and darkness
roll2
,3Without one ray
4Of thy eternal love and light
5To conquer these sad shades of night?
6
That3
endless day7In my
forsaken4
soul may shine,8The
hallelujah5
shall be Thine.9O then, look down
10Upon a ruined heap of
dust6
,11Slave to those tyrants, Death and Lust;
12My hopes, O
crown7
.13My God,
vouchsafe8
t’enfranchise9
me;14Let me no more a
vassal10
be 15To sin and pain.
16These vanities I
fain11
would leave;17O then, my
weary12
soul receive,18With Thee to reign
19In those celestial joys above,
20
Involved13
with glory, life and love,21And then Thy praise
22(My everlasting God and King)
23To all eternity I’ll sing,
24In unknown
lays14
