Fretwork
4:10Lord in thy wrath reprove me not Though I deserve thine ire Nor yet correct me in thy rage O Lord, I thee desire For I am weak therefore, O Lord Of mercy me forbear And heal me, Lord. For why? Thou knowest my bones do quake for fear My soul is troubled very sore And vexed exceedingly But, Lord, how long wilt thou delay To cure my misery? Lord, turn thee to thy wonted grace Some pity on me take O save me, not for my deserts But for thy mercies' sake For why? No man among the dead Remembereth thee at all Or who shall worship thee, O Lord That in the pit do fall? So grievous is my plaint and moan That I grow wondrous faint All the night long I wash my bed With tears of my complaint
