Ah, mine heart, remember thee well
Language: English
Ah, mine heart, remember thee well, And think on the paines that been in hell. Ah, mine heart, remember me well, how greatly thou art bound indeed; Thou thinkest on Him never a deal That helps thee ever at thy most need. Alas, for sorrow mine heart doth bleed, To think how grievously I have offended; I cry God mercy, I will amend. With weeping tears most lamentable To God above I call and cry; I will axe grace while I am able, I have offended so grievously; Me to amend I will me hie, For all my life-days I have mispend: I cry God mercy, I will amend.
