Wipe away my sins, O Lord,
which ignorantly in my youth I have done;
and give pardon to the penitent,
for thou art my Lord, my God.
All the hope of my soul doth rest in thee only.
Thou art my hope, thou art mt health,
My tears do testify my grief, mt dolour and affliction.
Be mindful O Lord God of thy goodwill
and with favour give ear unto my prayer.
Then shall mr heart rejoice in thee
and my spirit shall serve thee for ever and ever. Amen.
