Mercy Missive

Tune: Sandys

('Teach me, my God and King')

Psalm 123

********

To you we lift our eyes

To you our soul allies

We look to you, who dwell above

Come help us in your love

 

As eyes of servants look

To masters, not forsook

And as too maidens look unto

Mistresses, so we do

 

We do look unto you

Wait for your mercy    true

Have mercy on us, Lord, we pray

And save us sure each day

 

For we contempt do know

Enemies it us show

They scorn and mock at our troubles

But help us, hear our calls
