| LORD 1 Jesus, let thy holy eyes reflect | |
| Their influence vpon my earthen state: | |
| Thy heauenly presence is a faire aspect; | |
| There doth my soule delight to speculate: | |
| For by those starres I best can calculate | 5 |
| My lot of grace, which neuer is deni’d | |
| To him that viewes this Christ thus crucifi’d, | |
| |
| But O! the organ of this holy speech | |
| That breatheth life to euery faithfull eare! | |
| This holy one his holy word did preach; | 10 |
| He giues for nothing what would cost vs deare, | |
| And makes assurance where before was feare. | |
| Lord Iesus, giue me knowledge in thy teaching; | |
| I shall lesse neede these times’ contentious preaching. | |
| |
| His breath he formeth into holy prayer, | 15 |
| Which doth ascend the throne of maiestie: | |
| For vs poore men all his petitions were; | |
| He aduocates for vs perpetuallie. | |
| Thinke ye the Father will his Sonne denie? | |
| What neede I for more Intercessors care, | 20 |
| When holy Christ doth intercede his prayer? | |
| |
| Thou splendor of thy Father’s maiestie; | |
| Thou God of God; thou man, all men’s redeemer; | |
| Thou king of Iewes, thou Christ they crucifie; | |
| Thou one wherein all graces treasured are; | 25 |
| Thou mercifull, thou all, thou euery where; | |
| To thee, O Sauiour Iesus! I repaire; | |
| Exhibite, Lord, my pardon in thy prayer. | |
| |
| Pardon my youthfull sinning, and my old; | |
| Pardon my secrete and reuealed ones; | 30 |
| Pardon my errours, that be manifold; | |
| Pardon committings and omitions; | |
| Pardon my nature stayned with corruptions. | |
| Lord, pardon all, in all I haue offended; | |
| Thy pardon free, to all be it extended. | 35 |
