1 Unto thee lift I | up mine | eyes ||

O | thou that | dwellest • in the | heavens. ||

2 Behold, even as the eyes of servants look unto the | 3 hand of their | masters, ||

and as the eyes of a | maiden • unto the | 3 hand of her | mistress, ||

even so our eyes wait upon the | Lord our | God, ||

un- | til he • have | mer•cy up- | on us. ||

3 Have mercy upon us, O | Lord, have | mercy up•on us ||

3 for | we are | utter•ly de- | spised. ||

4 Our soul is filled with the scornful re- | proof • of the | wealthy ||

and with the de- | 3 spitefulness | of the | proud. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
