Text:On thee, who dwell'st above the Skies
Tune:[On thee, who dwell'st above the Skies]

CXXIII. On thee, who dwell'st above the Skies

1 On thee, who dwell'st above the Skies,
For Mercy wait my longing Eyes;
As Servants watch their Master's Hands,
And Maids their Mistresses' Commands.

2 O then have Mercy on us, LORD,
Thy gracious Aid to us afford:
To us, whom cruel Foes oppress,
Grown rich and proud by our Distress.
