¶Lyrics / Text

Susanna fair whom lying lips defamed, Before her foes pleaded her blamelessness, And such sweet grief her innocence proclaimed, As moved all hearts to pity her distress. "The Lord," she said, "He knoweth me guiltless, He is my trust, though never man befriend me. Yea, through disgrace and death itself attend me, And if He will, I am content to die; Yet if He so will, His power can defend me, And make me safe e'en from my enemy.
