Lyrics: Psalm 102, vv. 1-3,11,12,15

Hear my prayer, O Lord: and let my cry come unto thee.
Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trouble:
incline thine ears unto me when I call:
O hear me, and that right soon.
For my days are consumed away like smoke.
My days are gone like a shadow: and I am withered like the grass.
But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever:
The heathen shall fear thy Name, O Lord:
and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
