88. From the ΚΥΡΙΑΚΗ ΤΗΣ ΤΥΡΙΝΗΖ: Ode VII

Eternal Ruler, Thou didst will
To give me form and grace divine;
But lured to sin by serpent skill,
I have provoked that wrath of Thine.
In anger cast me not away,
But call me back, O God, I pray.

Ah! woe is me, a robe of shame
Hides what my stole of light adorned;
Hear me, I call upon Thy name,
My Saviour, let me not be scorned;
In anger cast me not away,
But call me back, O God, I pray.

O, I was wounded in the soul,
And exiled from the joys I knew;
My Saviour, Thou canst make me whole,
And Thou art pitiful and true.
In anger cast me not away,
But call me back, O God, I pray,
