Drop, Drop, Slow Tears by Phineas Fletcher, 1633 SONG 46—Orlando Gibbons Drop, Drop, Slow Tears 1 Drop, Drop, slow tears, And bathe those beauteous feet, Which brought from heaven The news and Prince of Peace. 2 Cease not, wet eyes, His mercies to entreat; To cry for vengeance Sin doth never cease. 3 In your deep floods Drown all my faults and fears; Nor let his eye See sin, but through my tears. Amen.
