letra de benevolence - william billings

Loading...

happy the man, whose tender care
relieves the poor distressed;
when troubles compass him around
the lord shall give him rest

the lord his life, with blessings crowned
in safety shall prolong
and disappoint the will of those
that seek to do him wrong

if he in languishing estate
oppress with sickness lie;
the lord will easy make his bed
and inward strength supply
secure of this, to thee, my god
i thus my prayer addressed:
“lord, for thy mercy, heal my soul
“though i have much transgressed

my cruel foes, with slanderous words
attempt to wound my fame
“when shall he die, (say they) and men
“forget his very name?

suppose they formal visits make
’tis all but empty show
they gather mischief in their hearts
and vent it where they go

with private whispers, such as these
to hurt me they devise
“a sore disease afflicts him now
“he’s fallen, no more to rise

my own familiar bosom-friend
on whom i most relied
has me, whose daily guest he was
with open scorn defied

but thou, my sad and wretched state
in mercy, lord, regard;
and raise me up, that all their crimes
may meet their just reward
by this, i know, thy gracious ear
is open when i call
because thou sufferest not my foes
to triumph in my fall

thy tender care secures my life
from danger and disgrace
and thou vouchsafest to set me still
before thy glorious face

let therefore israel’s lord and god
from age to age be blessed
and all the people’s glad applause
with loud amens expressed
