3:22Help Lord! Help Lord! Wilt thou quite destroy us? Help Lord Help Lord, The harvest now is over the summer days are gone and yet no power cometh to help us the harvest now is over the summer days are gone and yet no power cometh to help us the harvest now is over the summer days are gone and yet no power cometh to help us the harvest now is over the summer days are gone and yet no power cometh to help us (mixed voices) wilt then the Lord be no more God in Zion? wilt then the Lord be no more God in Zion? wilt then the Lord be no more God in Zion? (mixed voices) The harvest now is over! The harvest now is over! Is over! The summer days are gone and yet no power cometh to help us the deep afords no water and the rivers are exausted! The suckling's tounge no. cleaveth for thirst to his mouth The infant children ask for bread The infant children ask for bread And there is no one And there is no one break-eth it to feed them!
