1559.
[Out of the pit of sin I cry]
By the blood of thy covenant I have sent, &c.
—ix. 11.
Out of the pit of sin I cry,
Sinking into the pit of hell,
Till Thou that covenant-blood apply,
And bid my heart the comfort feel:
Speak, Father, speak the gracious word,
Which makes the dying sinner live,
Send forth the prisoner of the Lord,
And now for Jesu's sake forgive.
