Purge me, O Lord
Language: English
Purge me, O Lord, from all my sin, And save thou me by faith from ill, That I may rest and dwell with thee Upon thy holy blessed hill: And, that done, grant that with true heart I may without hypocrisy Affirm the truth, detract no man, But do all things with equity.
