Excerpt from Underwoods
The Sinners Sacrifice.
To the Holy Trinitie.
1. O holy, blessed, glorious Trinitie
Of persons, still one God, in Unitie.
The faithfull mans beleeved Mysterie,
Helpe, helpe to lift
2. My selfe up to thee, harrow'd, torne and bruis'd
By sinne, and Sathan; and my flesh misus'd,
As my heart lies in peeces, all confus'd,
O take my gift.
3. All-gracious God, the Sinners sacrifice.
A broken heart thou wert not wont despise,
But 'bove the fat of rammes, or bulls, to prize
An offring meet,
4. For thy acceptance. O, behold me right,
And take compassion on my grievous plight.
What odour can be, then a heart contrite,
To thee more sweet?
