1Must I thus ever
interdicted1
be,2My gracious God? To Thee and only Thee
3I will complain: pardon and pity me.
4Have I Thy
sacred pledges2
took in vain,5Or heard Thy blessed word applause to gain,
6That Thou dost thus Thine
ordinances3
restrain?7If it be so, Thy mercy I implore,
8
To lay my sins upon my Savior’s score4
9And me unto Thy church again restore.
10The
wanton sparrow5
and the chaster dove6
11Within Thy sacred
temple7
freely move;12But I (ay me!) am kept from what I love.
13O, let Thy Spirit my sad soul sustain
14Until those comforts I do reattain;
15Then let me never part with them again
16Until my captivated soul takes wing;
17Then will I
hallelujahs8
ever sing18To Thee, my gracious God and glorious king.
