HYMN 532. Meekness and mourning of Cap∣tives. 2. METRE.
To the new Tune.
O Thou that dwell'st above the spheres,To thee thy humble servant rearsA meek and mournfull eye:Behold as servants mark the handsOf Masters, under whose commandsThey serve submissively.
descriptionPage 647
And as a Maidens eyes erectUpon her mistress with respect,Compassion crave and love:So on our God our eyes do waitTill he shall us commiserateWith favour from above.
Have mercy on us, O good Lord,Have mercy on us here abhorr'd,And under miseries bow'd:Our soul is fill'd (even while they please)With insolence of men at ease,And scorning of the proud.
