[Oe List ...] FW: How Long O Lord

Fri Jul 7 19:50:49 PDT 2017

In my  ancient "The Singing of the Historical Religious" songbook I found
the following:

PSALM 13  (Tune: 500 Miles)

How long, O Lord, wilt thou quite forget me?
How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
How long mist I suffer anguish in my soul,
     grief in my heart, day and night?
How long shall my enemy lord it over me?
Look now and answer me, O Lord my God.
Give light to my eyes lest I sleep the sleep of death,
     lest my adversary say, "I have overthrown him,"
     and my enemies rejoice at my downfall.
But for my part I trust in thy true love,
My heart shall rejoice, for thou hast set me free.
I will sing to the Lord, who has granted all my desire.

Hope this helps!
G&P, Roxana
