206
PSALM VI.
LORD, rebuke me not in wrath,Nor let Thine anger burn;
In pity chasten not my soul,—
Oh, when wilt Thou return?
Have mercy on my trembling frame,
That well-nigh sinks with fears;
Heal me, O Lord, for I am sad,
And wipe away my tears.
That well-nigh sinks with fears;
Heal me, O Lord, for I am sad,
And wipe away my tears.
My soul, with sin and sorrow torn,
Now pants to view Thy face;
Oh, when wilt Thou, my God and King,
Return to me in peace?
Now pants to view Thy face;
Oh, when wilt Thou, my God and King,
Return to me in peace?
Return, return to me, O Lord,
And as Thy mercies roll,
Incline Thine ear—attend my cry,
And save my trembling soul.
And as Thy mercies roll,
Incline Thine ear—attend my cry,
And save my trembling soul.
No thought of Thee, in Death's domain,
Can pierce the dismal gloom;
No lip can bless Thy holy Name,
When sleeping in the tomb,
Can pierce the dismal gloom;
No lip can bless Thy holy Name,
When sleeping in the tomb,
