A LETANY. |
|
Father |
|
ffather of Heauen, and him by whome [1] |
It and vs for it, and all else for vs |
Thou mad'st and gouernst, ever, come |
And re-create mee now growne ruinous |
My hart is by deiection clay |
And by selfe-murder redd |
ffrom this redd earth ô father purge away |
All vitious tinctures, that new fashioned |
I may rise vp form death e're I am dead. |
|
Sonne |
|
O Sonne of God, who seeing two things |
Sinne, and death crept in w.ch were never made |
By bearing one trydst with what strings |
The other would thy heritage invade |
Ô bee thou nayld vnto my heart |
And crucifyd agayne |
Part not from it, though it from thee would part |
But let it bee by applying so thy payne, |
Drown'd in thy bloud, and in thy passion slayne
|
[CW: O holy___] |
