Shew mercy Lord on me most heinous sinner, And mortify my sin so grievous guilty; O cleanse me from it, purify me filthy; For in thy sight Lord I am only sinner. In sin (thou know'st) my sinful mother bore me: But O thou guide unto the heav'nly city, Wash, wash my soul in laver of thy pity, So shall no snow in whiteness go before me, Give me a clean heart, an untainted spirit; And of thy grace and face bereave me never; So shall I more adore thy name and fear it, And to thy service more and more endeavour; Sith broken hearts (as doth thy voice aver it) Are th'only sacrifice thou joy'st in ever.
