Lyrics: Psalm 130, paraphrased in sonnet by Francesco Bembo,
english'd by R.H.
From profound centre of my heart I cried
To thee O lord, Lord let thine ear draw near me,
To note my mournings, and quick-quickly hear me;
Hear my sad groans, to thy sweet grace applied.
Lord, if thou look with rigour down unto us, To mark our sin,
O who shall then abide it? But, if with pardon thou be pleas'd to hide it
(If mercy thou vouchsafe) what shall undo us?
Upon thy word my soul hath firmly reared
Her tower of trust, there is my hope possessed;
With thee is mercy, that thou may'st be feared;
Mercy, for those that are in soul depressed.
Israel's redeemer, whom thou hast endeared
Becomes through thee, of sinner, saint and blessed.
From profound centre of my heart I cried
To thee O lord, Lord let thine ear draw near me,
To note my mournings, and quick-quickly hear me;
Hear my sad groans, to thy sweet grace applied.
Lord, if thou look with rigour down unto us, To mark our sin,
O who shall then abide it? But, if with pardon thou be pleas'd to hide it
(If mercy thou vouchsafe) what shall undo us?
Upon thy word my soul hath firmly reared
Her tower of trust, there is my hope possessed;
With thee is mercy, that thou may'st be feared;
Mercy, for those that are in soul depressed.
Israel's redeemer, whom thou hast endeared
Becomes through thee, of sinner, saint and blessed.
