Qui confidunt.
THOSE 1 that doe put their confidence | |
| Vpon the Lord our God onely, | |
| And fly to him for his defence | |
| In all their neede and misery, | |
| Their faith is sure firme to endure, | 5 |
| Grounded on Christ the corner-stone; | |
| Moued with none ill, but standeth still, | |
| Stedfast like to the mount Sion. | |
| |
| And as about Jerusalem | |
| The mighty hils do it compasse, | 10 |
| So that no enemy commeth to them, | |
| To hurt that towne in any case; | |
| So God in deed in euery need | |
| His faithfull people doth defend, | |
| Standing them by assuredly, | 15 |
| From this time forth world without end. | |
| |
| Right wise and good is our Lord God, | |
| And will not suffer certeinely | |
| The sinner’s and vngodlye’s rod | |
| To tary vpon his family; | 20 |
| Least they also from God should go, | |
| Falling to sin and wickednesse: | |
| O Lord, defend, world without end, | |
| Thy christian flocke through thy goodnes. | |
| |
| O Lord, do good to Christians all, | 25 |
| That stedfast in thy word abide | |
| Such as willingly from God fall, | |
| And to false doctrine daily slide, | |
| Such will the Lord scatter abroad, | |
| With hipocrites throwne downe to hell; | 30 |
| God will them send paines without end: | |
| But, Lord, graunt peace to Israël. | |
| |
| Glory to God the Father of might, | |
| And to the Sonne our Sauiour, | |
| And to the Holy Ghost, whose light | 35 |
| Shine in our harts and vs succour; | |
| That the right way, from day to day, | |
| We may walke and him glorifie: | |
| With hart’s desire all that are here | |
| Worship the Lord, and say Amen. | 40 |
