poluted in our sinnes we dye Unlesse thou spare us we for mercy crie Spare us good Lord in mercy us forbeare Though in thy sight we foully doe appeare Yet spare us Lord for Iesus Christ his sake That of thy mercies we may still partake So shall we render thanks and praise to thee Who art one God alone in persons three One blessed Father Sonne and holy Ghost To whom all Glory be ascribed most To welcome home our gracious King With joyfull hearts which peace doth bring Let us give thankes to God and sing True Protestants rejoycing OUr Famous King concluded hath a peace 'Twixt Scotch and English to our joies increase By Gods assistance he hath done the deed Which will for ever make us well to speed Thankes be to God for that which he hath done We give God praise the Father and the Sonne And praises give to God the holy Spirit Who ever doth eternity inherit One ever blessed God in persons three To whom all glory thankes and praises be Let us with joyfull hearts receive our King Which in Gods name doth such contentments bring Let us with joy expresse our loving hearts To God for him such comforts that imparts England rejoyce and Scotland be thou glad Let Ireland pleasant be that was full sad Let all to God sound glory thankes and praise In heavenly songs in spirituall hymnes and layes Let Dutch be glad French Protestants rejoyce King Charles in Christ hath made the chiefest choice He rules in Christ in Christ he governes wellâ— Obeying Christ he then shall sâ—fâ—ly dwell Come let us all with hearts and mindes addrest To give God thankes and praise be ready prest Let Bells ring us out let Bonefires now be made Unto Gods glory and our Kingdomes ayd Let Instruments of musicke now sound forth The praise of God that is of greatest worth But let our mirth be modest not exceed Sweet moderation lest Great Britaine bleed Let it be honest modâ—st civill sweet Unto Gods glory honour praises meet So shall we then when we such mirth have done Be blest in Christ under great Britaines Sunne If we our mirth in measure temper well We by well doing free our selves from hell In Christ our head in truth faith hope and love Such sacrifices God doth well approve But in our mirth let us still mindfull be Of friends inthralled that they may be free Let us not thinke that we can peace enjoy If they in thraldome suffer great annoy How can we mirth expresse and be full glad When Gods deare Saints be sorrowfull and sad Come let our peace sweet comforts now afford To friends inthralled for Gods holy word Let us make haste and speed for their râ—liefe Let our sweet peace suppresse and end their griefe So shall we then for ever peacefull be When we this thing performe with courage free Let not our hearts be fill'd with grudge repine Let us be mindfull of sweet river Rhyne Thinke that our soules and bodies are not sound If faith and truth therein cannot be found How can our peace continue if our skin Be torne and rent our pith and rine bee thin If we be well and not our friends at ease We must helpe them if we our God will please What better deed by us can now be done Then helpe a Royall Mother and her Sonne What better fruits may this our peace produce Then Babel punish for her foule abuse She hath beene traytor to the Lord of life To pull downe her will make an end of strife Christ and his members she hath torne and rent She sinnes in pride her heart cannot repent Her downfall will the Iewes conversion be Christ and the Pope in truth cannot agree Christ is the Truth the Pope maintaines a lye Christ and the Pope cannot agree say I Pull downe the Pope and we shall ever reigne In Christ under command of Charlemaine Whilst Pope and Turke on earth doe beare the sway These strive to cast whole kingdomes quite away But when the Pope and Turke have had their doome Then will our everlasting freedome come Christ will appeare to judge both quick and dead Hee 'll those advance that him advanc't their head Hee 'll make an end of all our feare and griefe And be our comfort joy and sweet reliefe Then will that Sabbath comme that lasts for aye We shall have rest that never shall decay We shall have joy and peace that shall not end We then on Christ for ever shall attend In heavens blisse wherein there is delight Where day shall be where never shall be night Unto which place of rest good Lord us bring That we thy everlasting praise may sing Grant this good God for Iesus Christ his sake That we thy heavenly joyes may still partake To whom with thee and blessed holy Ghost Be glory honour power praises most Who hast been art and shall for ever be Advanc'd one blessed God in persons three FINIS
