William Mundy - Consort Anthem: Ah, helpless wretch

Visit: http://www.frieslachrimaeconsort.nl/ Ah, helpless wretch, what shall I do, or which way shall I go or run, The earth bewrays the heav'ns record the wickedness that I have done, Have mercy, Lord, for Christ thy Son. Alas, where shall I succour find, both heav'n and earth do me deny, So that unto the heav'ns above I dare not once lift up mine eye, For I have sinned so grievously. If heav'n and earth shall witness be against my erring soul for sin, Untimely birth alas for me a great deal better had it been than heav'n to lose and hell to win. Shall I despair, thou God forbid, I know that mercy more is thine, Than if the sins of all the world were knit and linked unto mine, Wherefore my soul do not repine. Despise not then, most loving Lord, the form and image of thy face, Which thou hast wrought and dearly bought with mercy, great goodness and grace, Accept therefore my humble plaints and grant me rest among thy saints. Amen.
