Son of God, hear us, and since Thou
By taking our blood, owest it us again,
Gain to Thyself, or us allow;
And let not both us and Thyself be slain;
O Lamb of God, which took'st our sin,
Which could not stick to Thee,
O let it not return to us again;
But patient and physician being free,
As sin is nothing, let it nowhere be.
