by Thomas Heywood (?1574 - 1641)
O make us apt to seek, and quick to find
Language: English
O make us apt to seek, and quick to find,
Thou God, most kind:
Give us Love, Hope and Faith in thee to trust,
Thou God, most just:
Remit all our offences, we intreat,
Most Good, most Great:
Grant that our willing though unworthy quest
May, through thy Grace, admit us 'mongst the blest.
