1. Far from our friends and country dear
In hostile lands we moan;
No tender hand to wipe the tear
Which flows with every groan!

2. Our foes vindictive mock our grief,
And sport with our complaints;
No mercy prompts to give relief,
Though languid misery faints.

 

3. In retrospective scenes employed,
We think on former days;
When peaceful sabbaths we enjoyed
And all our work was praise.

4. But now, of liberty deprived,
In solitude confined;
In vain we seek the word of life
To feed the starving mind.

 

5. To thee, O Lord, we lift our eye,
To thee, our cause commend;
Thou hearest the mourning prisoner's sigh,
Thou art the sufferer's friend.

6 We seek no vengeance on our foes,
But put our trust in thee;
O let thy mercy interpose,
And set thy captives free.
