To God; An Anthem sung in the Chappell at Whitehall

Verse.

My God, I'm wounded by my sin,

And sore without, and sick within:

Ver. Chor.

I come to Thee, in hope to find

Salve for my body and my mind.

Verse.

In Gilead though no balm be found

To ease this smart or cure this wound;

Ver. Chor.

Yet, Lord, I know there is with Thee

All saving health, and help for me.

Verse.

Then reach Thou forth that hand of Thine,

That pours in oil, as well as wine.

Ver. Chor.

And let it work, for I'll endure

The utmost smart, so Thou wilt cure.
