View mee, Lord, a worke of thine : | |||
Shall I then lye drown’d in night? | |||
Might thy grace in mee but shine, | |||
I should seeme made all of light. | |||
But my soule still surfets so | |||
On the poysoned baytes of sinne, | |||
That I strange and vgly growe, | |||
All is darke and foule within. | |||
Clense mee, Lord, that I may kneele | |||
At thine Altar, pure and white : | |||
They that once thy Mercies feele, | |||
Gaze no more on earths delight. | |||
Worldly ioyes like shadowes fade, | |||
When the heau’nly light appeares ; | |||
But the cou’nants thou hast made, | |||
Endlesse, know nor dayes, nor yeares. | |||
In thy word, Lord, is my trust, | |||
To thy mercies fast I flye ; | |||
Though I am but clay and dust, | |||
Yet thy grace can lift me high.}} | |||

View me, Lord, a work of Thine: | |||
Shall I then lie drown'd in night? | |||
Might Thy grace in me but shine, | |||
I should seem made all of light. | |||
Cleanse me, Lord, that I may kneel | |||
At Thine altar pure and white: | |||
They that once Thy mercies feel, | |||
Gaze no more on earth's delight. | |||
Worldly joys, like shadows, fade | |||
When the heav'nly light appears, | |||
But the cov'nants Thou hast made, | |||
Endless, know nor days nor years. | |||
In Thy Word, Lord, is my trust, | |||
To Thy mercies fast I fly; | |||
Though I am but clay and dust, | |||
Yet Thy grace can lift me high. Amen.}} | |||
