Oh 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 do offend. O Lord, for them shall I be shent, Sith Thee to please I do intend? | Haste Thee, O Lord, haste Thee, I say, To pour on me Thy gifts of grace That when this life must flit away In Heav'n with Thee I may have place Where Thou dost reign eternally With God which once did down Thee send, Where angels sing continually. To Thee be praise, world without end. Amen. |
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. |
Thomas Tallis "Oh Lord In Thee Is All My Trust," 1565
