This song is from Jeremiah - Lamentations 5: 1-6 Song Lyrics : Jerusalem, Jerusalem, convert unto the Lord The Prayer of Jeremiah the Prophet begins. 1. Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach. 2. Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to foreigners. 3. We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows. 4. We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us. 5. Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest. 6. We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. Latin : Ierusalem, Ierusalem converte ad Dominum Incipit oratio Jeremiae Prophetae. 1. Recordare, Domine, quid acciderit nobis; intuere et respice opprobrium nostrum. 2. Hereditas nostra versa est ad alienos , domus nostrae ad exteros. 3.
