Chorus:
Drop down dew, from above you heavens,
Let clouds rain down the Just One.
- Be not angry, O Lord,
And remember no longer our sinfulness.
Behold, the city of your Holy One is desert:
Sion is made a desert:
Jerusalem is desolate;
The house of your sanctification and of your glory,
Where our fathers used to praise you.
Chorus.
- We have sinned
And have become as a leper:
And we have all fallen as a leaf;
And our sins have carried us away like the wind.
You have hidden your face from us,
And you have crushed us
In the hand of our sinfulness.
Chorus.
- See, O Lord, the affliction of your people,
And send him whom you will send;
Send forth the Lamb, the Ruler of the earth,
From the rock in the desert to the mount
Of the daughter of Sion,
That he may take from us the yoke of captivity.
Chorus.
- Be comforted, be comforted. My people;
Quickly shall come your salvation.
Why are you consumed with grief
Because sorrow has invaded you?
I will save you: fear nothing;
For I am the Lord your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Redeemer.
Chorus.
