“Wherewith shall I come before the Lord?” Mic. 6. 6-8

1 Wherewith shall I come before the Most High,
  Who am but a worm, and doomèd to die?
  My nature unholy was tainted in birth,
  And nursèd by folly, brings all evil forth!

2 Whatever I do, some baseness appears;
  Wherever I go, it rings in my ears;
  Pursues me and rages with fulsomest breath,
  And tells me its wages are hell after death.

3 No labours of mine, with fasting and tears,
  Can purge away sin, or shorten arrears;
  One only sweet fountain of blood that was spilt
  Can loosen the mountain of high-crying guilt.
