¶Lyrics / Text

O, Lord, in thee is all my trust, give ear unto my woeful cry, refuse me not that amunjust, but bowing down thy heav'nly eye, behold how I do still lament, my sin wherein I do offend, O, Lord, for them shall I be shent, sith thee to please I do intend. No, no, no, so thy will is bent to deale with sinners in thine ire: But when in hartthey shall repent, thou graffits with speed that they desire To thee therefore still shall I cry, to wash away my sinfull crime. Thy blood, O, Lord, is not yet dry, but that it may help mee in time. Hast thee, O, Lord, hat thee I say, to poure on mee the gifts of grace: That when this life shall fleet away, in heaven with thee I may have place Where thou doest raigne eternally, with God which once did down thee send Wher Angels sing continually, to thee bee praise world whitout end.
