A Melody For Mercy

Tune: Contemplation

(\'When all they mercies, O my God\')

Psalm 123

*********

Unto you I lift up my eyes

You who rule earth, seas, skies

You who dwell in heavens above

Look on us in your love

 

Behold, as eyes of servants look

To masters, not forsook

And as eyes of maid to mistress

Look, to desire they bless [them]

 

So our wyes look unto the Lord

Wait for Him and His word

The Lord our God, until that He

Merciful to us be

 

Have mercy on us, O Lord, plain

This sure be our refrain

In prayer to you, for we are low

And great oppressions know

 

For we are filled exceedingly

With contempt, our state be

Scorned of those who now be at ease

[The] Proud sleight us as they please
