Oh futile lips

Oh futile lips 
Be closed tight 
Who are you 
To judge this night
Oh God please
An angel send
To guard my mouth 
Oh my tongue do mend

God is in heaven
I'm on earth
Do not let me
Many words birth 
For with the tongue
I can curse or bless
Oh speed me to the sacrament
So I can confess

Take my tongue
It do sanctify
Let my words be life
Why should another die
By my sharp arrows
Quick to depart
And stab a sister 
In the heart 

Bless me Father 
For sinned have I 
It's been 1 hour
Since I did draw nigh
To my God 
To confess
More of Christ
And of me less
