Comfort in extremitie.
Alas! my Lord is going;
Oh my woe!
It will be mine undoing,
If he goe.
I'le runne and overtake him:
If he stay,
I'le cry aloud, and make him
Look this way.
Oh stay my Lord, my love; 'tis I.
Comfort me quickly, or I dye.
Oh my woe!
It will be mine undoing,
If he goe.
I'le runne and overtake him:
If he stay,
I'le cry aloud, and make him
Look this way.
Oh stay my Lord, my love; 'tis I.
Comfort me quickly, or I dye.
Cheere up thy drooping spirits;
I am here.
My all-sufficient merits
Shall appeare
Before the throne of glory
In thy stead;
I'le put into thy story,
What I did.
Lift up thine eyes, sad soule, and see
Thy Saviour here. Loe, I am he.
I am here.
My all-sufficient merits
Shall appeare
Before the throne of glory
In thy stead;
I'le put into thy story,
What I did.
Lift up thine eyes, sad soule, and see
Thy Saviour here. Loe, I am he.
Alas! shall I present
My sinfulnesse
To thee? Thou wilt resent
The loathsomnesse.
Be not afraid, I'le take
Thy sinnes on me;
And all my favour make
To shine on thee.
Lord, what thou'lt have me, thou must make me.
As I have made thee, now I take thee.
My sinfulnesse
To thee? Thou wilt resent
The loathsomnesse.
Be not afraid, I'le take
Thy sinnes on me;
And all my favour make
To shine on thee.
Lord, what thou'lt have me, thou must make me.
As I have made thee, now I take thee.
