DROP, drop, slow tears, | |
And bathe those beauteous feet | |
Which brought from Heaven | |
The news and Prince of Peace: | |
Cease not, wet eyes, | 5 |
His mercy to entreat; | |
To cry for vengeance | |
Sin doth never cease. | |
In your deep floods | |
Drown all my faults and fears; | 10 |
Nor let His eye | |
See sin, but through my tears. |
