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 rears A meek and mournfull eye: Behold as servants mark the hands Of Masters, under whose commands They serve submissively.

Page 647

And as a Maidens eyes erect Upon her mistress with respect, Compassion crave and love: So on our God our eyes do wait Till he shall us commiserate With 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.
