2 Lord pity me a feeble wretch, Whom [sin and] dolour weakened hath; O heal my pained flesh and bones, Vexed by sin, and [by thy] wrath.
2 Lord pity me a feeble wretch, Whom [sin and] dolour weakned hath; O heal my pained flesh and bones, Vexed by sin, and [by thy] wrath.
3 My guilty soul doth bear its part With [pained] flesh in sin and grief; Lord do not over-long delay To ease them [both] with [thy] relief.
4 Return, O Lord, deliver me; Do not this [sinful] soul forsake, Pity and save a humbled wretch, For thy own [tender] mercies sake.
5 The lifeless Corps in silent dust Remember not thy [holy] name; In darksome graves who give thee thanks▪ Or do thy [glorious] praise proclaim.
