1. Lord God, my Saviour, day and nightbefore thee cry'd have I.
2. Before thee let my prayer come;give ear unto my cry.
3. For troubles great do fill my soul;my life draws nigh the grave.
4. I'm counted with those that go down to pit,and no strength have.
5. Ev'n free among the dead, like themthat slain in grave do lie;Cut off from thy hand, whom no morethou hast in memory.
6. Thou hast me laid in lowest pit,in deeps and darksome caves.
