1 Lord, in my lowest state To thee I lift mine eye; Whose glorious dwelling is above, Even in the heavens high.
1 LOrd, in my lowest state To thee I lift mine eye; Whose glorious dwelling is above, Even in the heavens high.
2 As servants eyes do look Unto their Master's hands; And as a maiden doth expect Her Mistresses Commands. So on the Lord our God Our eyes do still attend; Until to our relief and help His mercy condescend.
3 Have mercy on us, Lord, On us thy mercy show; For we are filled with contempt, From the insulting foe.
