[Touch'd from above with sacred woe]

All the house of Israel lamented after the Lord. —vii. 2.

Touch'd from above with sacred woe
O that we might incessant mourn,
After the Lord lamenting go,
Till Jesus, the true Ark, return!
The contrite heart, the grief sincere,
Jesus, to all our Israel give,
And then display Thy presence here,
And in Thy saints for ever live.
