¶Lyrics / Text

The secret sins that hidden lye within my pensive heart. Procures great heaps of bitter thoughts and fills my soul with smart; And yet the more my soul doth seek some sweet relief to find, the more doth sin, with vain delights, Alas, still keep me blind. Thou see’st, O God, the strifes there are between my soul ans sin: Thy grace doth work, but sin prevails and blinds my soul therein. Wherefore, sweet Christ, thy grace increase, my faith augment withal, And for Thy tender mercy’s sake, Lord, hear me when I call. Amen.
