- Lord, how long wilt Thou be angry,
- wilt Thou be angry, Lord.
- How long wilt Thou be angry?
- Shall thy jealousy burn like a fire forever?
- O, remember not, o, remember not our old sins,
- but have mercy upon us and that soon.
- For we are come to great misery.
- For we are come to great misery.
- Help us, O God, help us,
- O God of our salvation,
- for the glory of Thy name.
- O deliver us, o deliver us,
- o deliver us, o deliver us,
- and be merciful unto our sins,
- for thy name's sake.
- And be merciful unto our sins,
- be merciful unto our sins,
- for thy Name's sake.
- So we that are Thy people,
- and the sheep of Thy pasture
- shall give Thee thanks for ever.
- And will alway be shewing forth Thy praise,
- be shewing forth Thy praise,
- And will alway be shewing forth Thy praise,
- from one generation to another,
- from one generation to another.
