1Dear God, vouchsafe from Thy high throne
2To see my tears, and hear my moan;
3For I, in heaven and earth, have none
4To pity me
5In my dejected sad estate
, 6Wherein I’m thrown by adverse fate,
7And hope in none till my last date
8But only Thee.
9O then be pleased my dust to raise
, 10To sing thy everlasting praise
11In those celestial unknown lays
, 12With life and love.
13Then shall I leave these terrene
toys
, 14Obliviating
past annoys, 15And be involved
in endless joys 16With Thee above.
