On thee, who dwellest above the skies

Verse 1

On thee, who dwell'st above the Skies, For Mercy wait my longing Eyes; As Servants watch their Master's Hands, And Maids their Mistresses' Commands.

Verse 2

O then have Mercy on us, LORD, Thy gracious Aid to us afford: To us, whom cruel Foes oppress, Grown rich and proud by our Distress.
