Thomas Clark - How long wilt thou forget me, Lord? - ноты, текст песни (слова)

How long wilt thou forget me, Lord,
 O when wilt thou return?
 How long shall grief oppress my soul,
 Must I for ever mourn?
 
 O hear, and to my longing eyes
 Restore thy wonted light;
 And suddenly, or I shall sleep
 In everlasting night. 
 
 Since I have always plac'd my trust
 Beneath thy mercy's wing,
 Thy saving health shall come, and then
 My heart with joy will sing. 
 
 Then shall my song with praise inspir'd
 To thee, my God, ascend, 
 Who to thy servant in distress
 Such bounty did extend.
