Mure, Sir William: O three times happie, if the day of grace
#1
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.
