XXIV.

1

Earth and its fullnes are the Lord's,
The world and there who stay;

2

For He on seas it founded firme,
On floods its grounds did lay.

3

His hill ascend, his holie place
For stay who shall attaine?

4

The man whose hands are vndefild,
Whose heart doth pure remaine.
He who his soule hath not lift vp
To vanitie, nor swears

5

Deceatfullie: He from the Lord,
Away the blessing bears;
Evin righteousnes from God, who doth

6

Him save. This is the race
Of them that seek him; them that seek
(O Jacob's God) thy face.

7

Lift, O yee gats, lift vp ȝour heads;
Yee doires that last alway,
Be ye lift vp, that enter in
The King of Glorie may.

8
Who is this glorious King? The Lord,
The strong and mightie one:
The Lord, most mightie, gainst his foes
When forth to battle gone.

9

Lift, O yee gats, lift vp your heads;
Yee doors that last alway,
Be yee lift vp, that enter in
The King of Glorie may.

10

This mightie King that comes, this King
Of Glorie, who is hee?
Jehouah King of Glorie is,
The Lord of Hosts most high.
