¶Lyrics / Text

1. My harp untuned, and laid aside (To cheerful hours the harp belongs) My cruel foes, insulting, cried, “Come, sing us one of Zion’s songs.” 2. Alas! When sinners blindly bold, At Zion scoff, and Zion’s King, When zeal declines and love grows cold, Is this a day for me to sing? 3. Time was, when-e’er the saints I met, With joy and praise my bosom glowed; But now, like Eli, sad I sit, And tremble for the ark of God.
