SONG 46. (10. 10.)
First strain of Song 46
Slow 𝅗𝅥 = 60.
O. Gibbons, 1583–1625.
Phineas Fletcher, 1582-1650.
DROP, drop, slow tears,
And bathe those beauteous feet,
Which brought from heaven
The news and Prince of peace.
2 Cease not, wet eyes,
His mercies to entreat;
To cry for vengeance
Sin doth never cease.
3. In your deep floods
Drown all my faults and fears;
Nor let his eye
See sin, but through my tears.
