To Thee I therefore raise mine eyes,
To Thee mine ardent longings rise—
Ah! let Thine eye now rest on me
As Thou wast wont, Lord, graciously.
And when I need supporting grace,
Turn not away from me Thy face;
May what Thou deignest to impart
Of my desires be counterpart.
The world is false, it acts a part,
Thou art my Friend, sincere in heart;
