How hast Thou then my God

How hast Thou then my God,

In time of need,

In this my fear and trembling,

Quite turned away from me?

Ah! know'st Thou not Thy child?

Ah! hear'st Thou not the mourning

Of those who are Thine own

By covenant and truth?

Thou once were my delight,

And now art cruel to me!

I seek for Thee in ev'ry place,

I call, I cry to thee,

Alas! my woe and grief

Seem now, as if Thou knew'st them not at all.
