Tallis, Thomas: Expend, O Lord, my plaint
Expend, O Lord, my plaint (1567)
Expend, O Lord, my plaint of word
In grief that I do make.
My musing mind recount most kind;
Give ear for thine own sake.
O hark my groan, my crying moan;
My king, my God thou art.
Let me not stray from thee alway,
To thee I pray in heart.
