Thou foldest me in sickness; / Thou callest through the cloud; / I batter with the thickness / Of the swathing, blinding shroud: / Oh, let me see thy face, / The only perfect grace / That thou canst show thy child.
0 father, being-giver, / Take off the sickness-cloud; / Saviour, my life deliver / From this dull body-shroud: / Till I can see thy face / I am not full of grace, / I am not reconciled.
