John Dowland - O Lord, turn not away thy face - текст песни (слова)

O Lord turn not away thy face 
 From him that lies prostrate, 
 Lamenting sore his sinful life 
 Before thy mercy gate.
 Which gate thou openest wide to those 
 That do lament their sin;
 Shut not that gate against me Lord, 
 But let me enter in.
 
 So come I to thy mercy gate, 
 Where mercy doth abound, 
 Requiring mercy for my sin 
 To heal my deadly wound.
 Mercy, good Lord, mercy I ask, 
 This is the total sum;
 For mercy, Lord, is all my suit: 
 Lord, let thy mercy come.
