Verse 1
Allow’d to kiss my Saviour’s feet,
I here rejoice and grieve:
I never can the sins forget
Which Jesus doth forgive;
Sorrow and joy unspeakable
Alternately I prove,
And now my baseness I bewail,
And now admire his love.

Verse 2
O might I thus thro’ life remain,
Delightfully distrest,
And still indulge the pleasing pain
Which tears my happy breast;
Till he, my heart’s desire appears
Reveal’d in heavenly light,
And wipes away these blessed tears
By that extatic sight!
