Psalm 123 a song of ascents


1.1 To you I lift my eyes, O LORD
You are in heav'n enthroned.
2 As servants watch their master's hand,
Or as a maid's eyes wait
Her mistress' hand to see,
2.So our eyes, waiting, now attend
Upon the LORD our God,
Until He gracious be to us.
3 Be gracious to us, LORD.
Be gracious unto us.
3.For we are sated with contempt
4 Our soul is surfeited
With all the scoffing insolence
Of those who live at ease,
And with the proud's contempt.
Tune:  Christmas 86.866
