1 Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me : for I am poor, and needy. 2 Preserve thou my soul, for I am holy : O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. 3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord : for I cry unto thee daily. 4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant : for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. 5 For thou, Lord, art good and ready to forgive : and plenteous in mercy unto them that call upon thee. 6 Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer : and attend to the voice of my supplication.(..)
choir :
To my humble supplication Lord, give ear and acceptation;
Save Thy servant that hath none Help nor hope but Thee alone.
Send, O send relieving gladness To my soul opprest with sadness,
Which from clog of earth set free Winged with zeal, flies up to Thee.(..)
