Oh, by that joy which Gabriel brought to thee,
Thou Virgin first and last, let us thy mercy see.

Anthem: Drop, drop, slow tears— Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625)

Drop, drop, slow tears,
And bathe those beauteous feet
Which brought from Heaven
The news and Prince of Peace.

Cease not, wet eyes,
His mercy to entreat;
To cry for vengeance
Sin doth never cease.

In your deep floods
Drown all my faults and fears;
Nor let His eye
See sin, but through my tears.
