I feel like my days are up

Dear Sunny

I feel like my days are up
Death hangs around my door.
His fear pangs my heart to fear
Everlasting joy remains unclear.
Oh, my dear, I wish you were here
To firm and fix my tears to my years.
This sickness I am sure will close my eyes
But how can I live all my future in a night?
Regret has been my bedside friend 
How I wish I had lived more holy days.
You told me faith would be my final rock
How I wish I kept her deep 
But in my youth, I flung her into the sea.
I hear the knock, please fetch the priest
Perhaps in this last rite, my soul will live.

O, Lord of mercy

 O, Lord of mercy Mercy me in my distress! My heart has gone far from you And your light of peace Has escaped my soul! O, bitter is the gall...
