English 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.
