HYMN XXII.

“_Oh that mine head were waters_, _and mine eyes a fountain of

tears_” JER. lx. 1.

“O! na bai fy mhen yn ddyfroedd”

WOULD that my poor head were waters

That I might not cease to weep

Over Sion’s sons and daughters,

Wrapt in waywardness and sleep!

Foxes, the vineyard thieving,

Are destroying all the bloom,

And the bright Sheckinah, leaving

Sion, leaves her to her doom.

Lord, remember how Thou swearedst

In Thy covenant of old

To redeem, and how Thou carest

For the frailest in Thy fold.

Shed within us some reflection

Of Thyself, The Living Word,

Thou That art The Resurrection

And The Everlasting Lord!
