Of onely grace: that he hath plight.

Reioyceth in God: my sauiour:
Not me my selfe: but thee O Lord,
I do extoll: in hartes accord.

For holy is: his worthy name.

And humble hartes: exalted due:
Thus God hath done: by power so hie,
The worldly riche: full low do lie.

Thus God hath done: by power so hie,
The worldly riche: full low do lie.
The hungry soule: he filde in all,
Wyth eche good thyng: so liberall:
The riche in wealth: wyth all their ray,
With empty handes: he sent away.

The riche in wealth: wyth all their ray,
With empty handes: he sent away.
Remembring still: hys grace that fell,
Hys seruaunt holpe: good Israell:
Which promisd was: our fathers gray
And Abraham: hys seede for aye.
