[How long shall I languish and moan]

O Lord, how long shall I cry, and Thou, &c. —i. 2.

How long shall I languish and moan,
How long of oppression complain,
In sorrow and heaviness groan,
And cry for a Saviour in vain?
To save me from sin and from fear
Both able, and willing Thou art;
O bring the deliverance near,
And whisper it into my heart.
