Tune:SONG 46
Composer:Orlando Gibbons, 1583-1625

106. Drop, drop, slow tears, and bathe those beauteous feet

1 Drop, drop, slow tears,
and bathe those beauteous feet,
which brought from heaven
the news and Prince of Peace.

2 Cease not, wet eyes,
his mercies to entreat;
to cry for vengeance
sin doth never cease.

3 In your deep floods
drown all my faults and fears;
nor let his eye
see sin, but through my tears.
