Purge me, O Lord (Anonymous, set by T. Tallis) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


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.
