1 One grief, and then another doth Like Clouds their Waters pour; The Floods of cursed evil Men Do threaten to devour
1 ONe grief, and then another doth Like Clouds their Waters pour; The Floods of cursed evil Men Do threaten to devour
2 Thy People all: O Lord, look down! Rebuke them in thy wrath! Thou art our hope and our defence, O stretch thine Arm now forth,
3 And let them know they are but Men, And must subject to thee; What evil they intend to do, Let it prevented be;
4 And we will lift thy Name on high, And them we will not fear, If thou wilt, Lord, our sins forgive, And for our help appear.
