Lo straining cramp of cold despair again In feeble breast doth pinch my pining hart,1 So as in greatest need to cry and plain My speech doth fail to utter thee my smart. Refresh my yielding heart, with warming grace, And loose my speech, and make me call to thee. Lord open thou my lips to show my case, My Lord, for mercy Lo to thee I flee. I can not pray without thy moving aid, Ne can I rise, ne can I stand alone. Lord, make me pray, & grant when I have prayed. Lord loose my lips, I may express my moan▪ And finding grace with open mouth I may Thy mercies praise, and holy name display.
