Ah, mine heart, remember thee well

R. Davy

Ah, mine heart, remember thee well,

And think on the paines that been in hell.

Ah, mine heart, remember me well,

how greatly thou art bound indeed;

Thou thinkest on Him never a deal

That helps thee ever at thy most need.

Alas, for sorrow mine heart doth bleed,

To think how grievously I have offended;

I cry God mercy, I will amend.

With weeping tears most lamentable

To God above I call and cry;

I will axe grace while I am able,

I have offended so grievously;

Me to amend I will me hie,

For all my life-days I have mispend:

I cry God mercy, I will amend.
