Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDD EFEGHI JKJKLLOH thou great Power in whom I move | A |
For whom I live to whom I die | B |
Behold me through thy beams of love | C |
Whilest on this Couch of tears I lye | B |
And Cleanse my sordid soul within | D |
By thy Chirsts Bloud the bath of sin | D |
- | |
No hallowed oyls no grains I need | E |
No rags of Saints no purging fire | F |
One rosie drop from David's Seed | E |
Was worlds of seas to quench thine Ire | G |
O pretious Ransome which once paid | H |
That Consummatum est was said | I |
- | |
And said by him that said no more | J |
But seal'd it with his sacred breath | K |
Thou then that hast dispung'd my score | J |
And dying wast the death of death | K |
Be to me now on thee I call | L |
My Life my Strength my Joy my All | L |
Sir Henry Wotton
