Henry Purcell: Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts, Z58c (King)

Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts.
Shut not thy merciful ears unto our prayers; but spare us, Lord most holy,
O God most mighty, O holy and most merciful Saviour,
Thou most worthy judge eternal,
Suffer us not at our last hour for any pains of death to fall from thee.
Amen.

The Book of Common Prayer, 1662
