v. 15.
Look down from Heaven and behold from that thy dwelling seat Of Holiness prepar'd of old, and of thy glory great. Where is the zeal and strength in Thee? thy bowels mov'd and pain'd, And of thy mercies towards me, are they, O Lord, restrain'd?
Doubtless thou art our Father dear, though Abraham hath forgot; Or ignorant of us appear, and Israel knows us not. Thou art our Father, still the same, thou didst us, Lord, redeem: From Everlasting is thy Name, a stranger do not seem.

O Lord why hast thou made us err from thy most holy path? Hardning our hearts from thy true fear, in thy provoked wrath? Return, and have rememberance, for thy dear servants sake, The Tribes of thine Inheritance which thou did'st chuse and take!
