Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts;
shut not thy merciful ears unto our pray'rs;
But spare us, Lord most holy,
O God most mighty,
O holy and most merciful Saviour,
Thou most worthy Judge eternal,
Suffer us not at our last hour
for any pains  ... .

Composition:

    Set to music by Henry Purcell (1658/9 - 1695), "Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts", Z. 58b, published 1695?, stanza 1
