¶Liedtext

O Lord, turn not away thy face from him that lieth prostrate, Lamenting sore his sinful life before thy mercy gate, Which gate thou openest wide to those who do lament their sin: Shut not that gate against me, Lord, but let me enter in. And call me not to mine accounts how I have lived here, For then I know right well, O Lord, how vile I shall appear. I need not to confess my life: I am sure thou canst tell What I have been, and what I am, I know thou knowest it well. O Lord, though knowest what things be past and eke the things that be; Thou knowest also what is to come, nothing is hid from thee. Before the heavens and earth were made though knowest what things were then, As all things else that hath been since among the sons of men. And can the things that I have done be hidden from thee then? Nay, nay, thou knowest them all, O L where they were done and when Wherefore with tears I come to thee to beg and to entreat, Even as the child that hath done evil, and feareth to be beat. So come I to thy mercy gate, where mercy doth abound, Requiring mercy for my sin, to heal my deadly wound. O Lord, I need not to repeat what I do beg or crave: Thou knowest, O Lord, before I ask the thing that I would have. Mercy, good Lord, mercy I ask: this is the total sum, For mercy, Lord, is all my suit; Lord, let they mercy come.
