Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XIII (1767) Lyrics: 1 How long shall I repine?
LORD, must I ever mourn?
Hast thou withdrawn from me?
And wilt thou ne'er return?
How long shall anxious Thoughts
My Heart with Grief oppress?
How long my Foes insult,
And I have no Redress?
2 Oh! to my longing Eyes
Restore thy wonted Light;
And soon, or I shall sleep
In everlasting Night.
Restore me, lest they boast
'Twas their own Strength o'ercame;
Lest those who vex my Soul,
Should triumph in my shame.
3 Since I my Trust have plac'd
Beneath thy Mercy's Wing,
Thy Help will come, and then
My Heart with Joy shall sing:
Then shall my Song, inspir'd,
To thee, my GOD, ascend,
Who to thy Soul, distress'd,
Such Bounty didst extend. Topics: Prayers When surrounded by Enemies Scripture: Psalm 13 Languages: English Tune Title: [How long shall I repine]
