Reformatted poem on the three crosses--
INRI
My God! My God! vers of my tears
I come to Thee; bow down thy blessed ears
To hear me, wretch, oh let thine eyes, which sleep
Did never close, behold a sinner weep.
Let not, O God! my God! my faults, though great
And numberless, between thy mercy-seat
And my poor soul be thrown, since we are taught.
Thou, Lord! rememberest thyne, If thou beest sought.
I come not, Lord, with any other merit
Than what I by my Saviour Christ inherit:
Be then his wounds my balm, his stripes my bliss,
My crown his thorns, my death be lost in his,
And thou my blest Redeemer, Saviour God!
Quit my accounts, withhold thy vengeful rod;
O beg for me my hopes on thee are set,
Thou Christ forgiue, as well as pay the debt.
The living fount, the life, the way I know;
And but to thee o whither should I go?
All other helps are vain, give thine to me;
For by thy cross my saving health must be.
Oh hearken then, what I with faith implore,
Lest sin and death sink me forever more.
Oh Lord! My God! my wayes direct and keep,
In death defend that from thee I ne'er slip;
And as the doom let me be raised then,
To live with thee. Sweet Jesus say, Amen!
NB: forgive is spelt forgiue so that "Why hast tho_u_
forsaken me" is correct.
