prostrate o lord i lie - william byrd lyrics

Loading...

prostrate o lord, i lie
beehold mee lord, with pittie
stop not thine eares against my cry
my sad and mourning dittie
breath’d from an inward soule
from hart hart’ly contrite
an offering sweet, a sacrifice
in thy high heavenly sight

observe not sinnes o lord
for who may then abide it
but let thy mercie cancell them
thou hast not man deni’d it
man melting with remorse and thoughts
thought past repenting
o lighten lord, o heare our songs
our sinnes full sore lamenting

the wonders of thy works
above all reason reacheth
and yеt thy mercie above all
this, us thy spirit tеacheth
then let no sinner fall
in depth of foul despair
since never soul so foul there was
but mercie made it faire
