Mure, Sir William: O three times happie, if the day of grace - ZaunköniG - 16.01.2011 Sir William Mure 1594 - 1657 Schottland O three times happie, if the day of grace In my darke soule did though but dimly dawne, if to my strugling thoughts proclamd were peace, If from mine eyes the vaile of darknesse drawne, If once the seed of true repentance sawne Made gushing streames leave furrowes on my face; Sinnes menstruous rags in pure transparent laune Were chang't, O then how happie were my cace! So darknesse paths no more my feete should trace, So ever on a quyet conscience feast Repentance planted so should vice displace, So clenst from sinne, sinne's filth I should detest! Grace, light, repentance, inward peace I crave, Grant these, good Lord, for mee thy selfe who gave. |
