Let them set forth & celebrate thy name (Lord) worthyly:
For it is greate & worthy fear, & eke passynge holye.

Exalt I saye exalt the Lord our God that is on hye:
And fall downe at his fete for he is sacret and holye.

Amonge his priestes was Moses, and hys brother Aaron:
And of them that dyd crie on hym, good Samuell was one.
And of them that dyd crie on hym, good Samuell was one.
They cried to hym and he hearde them, & spake to them agayne:
Out of a cloude, & to kepe all his lawes they were ryght fayne.
Out of a cloude, & to kepe all his lawes they were ryght fayne.
O Lorde our God, thou heardest them, & dydst them not denye:
Thou wast to them a loueynge God, plagegeynge theyr vayne studie.

At the hyll of hys holynes, for holye is he fownde.
At the hyll of hys holynes, for holye is he fownde.
