O that mine eyes might closèd be
To what concerns me not to see;
That deafness might possess mine ear
To what concerns me not to hear;
That truth my tongue might closely tie
From ever speaking foolishly;
That no vain thought might ever rest
Or be conceivèd in my breast!
Wash, Lord, and purify my heart,
And make it clean in every part;
And when ‘tis clean, Lord, keep it too;
For that is more than I can do.
