Baruch Bulman - Lord thou hast commanded - текст песни (слова)

Lord, thou hast commanded by thy holy apostle 
 that we should abstain from fornication, 
 and that every one of us should know how to keep his vessel, 
 that is to say, his body, in holiness and honour, and not in the lust of concupiscence,
 as do the heathen, which know not God. 
 I beseech thee to give me grace to behave myself according to this thy holy commandment, 
 that in this time of my single life, I defile not my body with whoredom or any other uncleanness; 
 but so order myself with all honesty and pureness of life that I may glorify thee, 
 my Lord God, both in body and spirit. 
 Amen.
 [A Prymmer Or Boke of Priuate Prayer (London, 1553)]
