Drop Drop Slow Tears { Drop Drop Slow Tears by Phineas Fletcher, 1633 SONG 46-Orlando Gibbons Drop, Drop, Slow Tears } Drop, Drop, slow tears, And bathe those beauteous feet, Which brought from heaven The news and Prince of Peace. Cease not, wet eyes, His mercies 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. Amen.
