Text:Drop, drop slow tears, And bathe those beauteous feet
Author:Phineas Fletcher, 1582-1650
Tune:SONG 46
Composer:Orlando Gibbons, 1583-1625

82. 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.
