Psalm. CXXXIIII.

The Argument.

The Leuites set: in nights to sing,
To God so great: their Lord and king,
On steps in sight: some one by choyce,
Dyd thus excyte, all mens reioyce,
So met to bring:
Both sprite, and voyce.

Ecce nunc benedicite.

15. Canticū Graduum.

1

Lo ye all here:
Ye seruants deere:
And ye that stand:
Of God so grand:
Now prayse the Lord:
By Gods accord,
By night in house:
And glorious.
Draw neere: recorde
His hand, with vs.

2

Your handes lift hye:
Gods sacrary:
The Lord proclaime:
Enhaunce the same:
In holynes,
Due laude expresse:
Blisse ye his deede,
In fayth and dread.
Apply no lesse,
His fame to spread.

3

The Lord of grace:
Blisse he this place:
Who heauen did make:
For all our sake:
From Sion Hyll,
Your hart and will,
And earth I say,
Both nighte and day.
Embrace, him still,
Awake, and pray.
The ende of the songes of the Stayers.
