Hear us, O Hear us Lord, to thee
A sinner is more music, when he prays,
Than spheres, or angels' praises be
in panegyric alleluias,
Hear us, for till thou hear us, Lord
We know not what to say.
Thine ear to our sighs, tears, thoughts, gives voice and word.
Hear thyself now, for thou in us dost pray.
--John Donne (1572-1631)
