Hymne. X. After our Worke is done.
[_]
Lest (when we have accomplished our intended Works) we lose the benefit of our Labours, by Jmprovidence
16
Sing this as the 100. Psalme.
[1]
That I unthankfull may not be,Now this my worke is fully done,
VVith Praises Lord, I come to thee,
In whom it was at first begun:
For if my Pains hath compast ought,
From whence, a profit may redound;
Thy Grace, the same in me hath wrought:
Else, fruitlesse, had my deeds been found.
2
Let not my Folly, nor my Foe,Nor past, nor future sins, destroy
The Labours, which I did bestow
An honest profit to enjoy.
But, make my Paines, and their Effect,
To me, still, prosp'rously succeed;
And let me never Lord, neglect
To praise thee, both in Will and Deed.
