Drop down, ye heavens, from above,
and let the skies pour down righteousness.

1. Be not wroth very sore, O Lord,
neither remember iniquity forever:
Thy holy cities are a wilderness,
Sion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation:
Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praisèd thee.
(first of 4 vv)
