Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDBEEFFGGCCEEHHCC GGCCCCBDCCGGHHGGHHHH IICC

Oh with thy grace my heart inspireA
To bring forth fruites of thy desireB
Give me thy Peters penitenceC
Paul's faith and Job his patienceC
And Marie's grace and John his loueD
That in my heart I may approueB
When all these graces meete in meeE
What ioy my soule shall have in theeE
But oh my God my heart cloth akeF
My soule with trembling fear doth quakeF
That sinne hath brought me in such plightG
As makes me ouglie in thy sightG
And I O wretch am one of thoseC
Whom thou hast reckoned for thy foesC
And that thy mercie will not heare meE
Nor comfort euer shall come near meeE
My prayer turned into sinneH
No gate of grace shall enter inH
But all my thoughts are farre amisseC
Shall banisht be from hope of blisseC
And my poore soule by sinne's desartG
Condemn'd vnto eternall smartG
And yet again meethinks I seeC
How thy great mercie lookes on meeC
And tels me faith may be victoriousC
While grace will be in mercie gloriousC
And what true hartes do truelie proueB
That turne to thee in teares of loueD
In which vnfaigned faithfull tearesC
Wherein the wofull spirit wearesC
I humbly fall at mercie's feeteG
Where grace and loue and glorie meeteG
And in teares of true contritionH
Thus makes my wofull soule's petitionH
In mercie looke on me deare GodG
Forgive my sinnes forbeare thy rodG
Behold my griefe and ease my paineH
And take me to thy grace againeH
That I may see that bright Sunne shineH
Whose glorie neuer can declineH
Where I with Simeon's ioy may singI
When I embrace my holy KingI
And sinne and sorrowes ceaseC
As my soule may rest in peaceC
