Purcell, Henry: Remember not, Lord, our offences
Remember not, Lord, our offences (c. 1679–81)
Remember not, Lord, our offences,
nor the offences of our forefathers;
neither take thou vengeance of our sins;
but spare us, good Lord, spare thy people
whom thou hast redeemed with thy most precious blood;
and be not angry with us for ever.
Spare us, good Lord.
