CANT. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
BASS. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
HOw long! Lord, let me not For ever be forgot! How long my God, wilt thou Contract thy clouded brow! How long in mind perplext Shall I be daily vext! How long shall he controll, Who persecutes my soule! Consider, heare my cries; Illuminate mine eyes; Lest with exhausted breath I ever sleepe in Death; Lest my insulting Foe Boast in my overthrow; And those who would destroy, In my subversion joy. But I, Thou ever Just, Will in thy Mercie trust; And in thy saving Grace My constant Comfort place: My Songs shall sing thy Praise, That hast prolong'd my Dayes.
