SONG II.
[1] Hearken what God doth speak To such as mourn aright, That under his Afflicting hand Are broken and contrite. Blessed are those that mourn; 1They shall be comforted: As first in Sorrow, so in Joy They shall be like their Head.
[1] HEarken what God doth speak To such as mourn aright, That under his Afflicting hand Are broken and contrite. Blessed are those that mourn; 1They shall be comforted: As first in Sorrow, so in Joy They shall be like their Head.
[2] Thus saith the lofty One, Th' Eternal, Holy Lord; 1I dwell in humble contrite Hearts, That tremble at my Word: Their Spirits to revive, And greatly them to cheer; For I'll not always angry be, With such as do me fear.
