by George Herbert (1593 - 1633)
Trinity Sunday
Language: English
Lord, who hast form'd me out of mud, And hast redeem'd me through thy blood, And sanctified me to do good, Purge all my sins done heretofore; For I confess my heavy score, And I will strive to sin no more. Enrich my heart, mouth, hands in me, with faith, with hope, with charity; That I may run, rise, rest with thee.
