Psalme. C.
The Argument.
All men of breath: but temporall,Which Pilgrimes walke: this earthly Ball:
To ioy be bid: here seuerall,
To God in dayes: most festiuall.
1
O ioy all men: terrestriall,Reioyce in God: celestiall,
I byd not Iewes: especiall,
But Iewes and Greekes: in generall.
2
Serue ye thys Lord: heroicall,Wyth ioy of hart: effectuall:
Seke ye hys sight: potentiall,
Wyth hymnes of myrth: most musicall.
3
Know ye thys Lord: imperiall:As God vs made: originall:
Not we our selues: he vs doth call,
Hys folke as flocke: kept pastorall.
280
4
Hys gates and courtes: tread vsuall,Wyth laudes and hymnes: poeticall:
Geue thankes to hym: continuall,
And blesse his name: most liberall.
5
For why this Lord: so principall,Is sweete, hys grace: perpetuall:
Hys truth of word: stand euer shall,
With hundreth thankes: thus ende we all.
