Rh

I call Thee, Thou Who hast repentance nigh

For mine affliction; lo! my praying heed;

Hear my beseeching; my salvation speed;

Hide Thee not at my sighing, at my cry.

O moon Tebeth! exceeding is my sum

Of pain therein, when His face changed for me.

Yet, though I sinned, His goodness I shall see,

Who saith: "Ye waves, but so far shall ye come."
