Mentioning Mercy

Tune: Albano

('Once, only once, and once for all')

Psalm 123

*******

Unto you, Lord, I lift my eyes

My soul to you allies

You who do in the heavens dwell

Yet each our hearts you tell* (*i.e. 'know')

Behold, as the eyes of servants

Look to their masters hence

And as handmaids look to mistress

We look to you, pray bless

Our eyes upon the Lord God wait

He sees our every state

We wait until he has mercy

On us, this be our plea

Have mercy on us, O Lord, for

We are exceeding sure

Filled with contempt within our souls

Enemies pride takes toll [on us]
