If that a sinner's sighs
Language: English
If that a sinner's sighs be Angel's food, Or that repentant tears be Angel's wine, Accept, O Lord, in this most pensive mood, These hearty sighs and doleful plaints of mine, That went with Peter forth most sinfully: But not as Peter did, weep, weep bitterly.
