Abstract
O worse than Death indeed! lead me, ye guards
Lead me, or to the rack, or to the flames,
I'll thank your gracious mercy.
Angels ever bright and fair. Angels ever bright and fair,
Take, O take me Take, O take me to your care;
take me, Take, O, take me Angels every bright and fair.
Take, O take me to your care; Take, O take me to your care.
Speed to your own courts my flight, Clad in robes of Virgin white;
Clad in robes of Virgin white, Clad in robes of Virgin white;
Take me Angels ever bright and fair,
Take, O take me, Take, O take me to your care;
Take me Take, O take me Angels ever bright and fair,
Take, O take me to your care; Take o take me to your care.
