I should give credit, too, to the poet:
Phineas Fletcher (1580–1650)
A Litany
DROP, drop, slow tears,
And bathe those beauteous feet
Which brought from Heaven
The news and Prince of Peace:
Cease not, wet eyes, 5
His mercy to entreat;
To cry for vengeance
Sin doth never cease.
In your deep floods
Drown all my faults and fears; 10
Nor let His eye
See sin, but through my tears.
