O Lord, in Thee is all my trust.
Give ear unto my woeful cries.
Refuse me not, that am unjust,
but bowing down Thy heav’nly eyes,
behold how I do still lament
my sins wherein I Thee offend.
O Lord, for them shall I be shent(put to shame/reproached),
Sith(Since) thee to please I do intend?

No, no, not so! Thy will is bent
to deal with sinners in Thine ire:
but when in heart they shall repent
Thou grant’st with speed their just desire.
To Thee therefore still shall I cry,
to wash away my sinful crime.
Thy blood, O Lord, is not yet dry,
but that it may help me in time.

Haste Thee, O Lord, haste Thee, I say,
to pour on me Thy gifts of grace
that when this life shall fleet away
in heav’n with Thee I may have place
where Thou dost reign eternally
with God which once Thee down did send,
where angels sing continually.
To thee be praise, world without end. Amen.
