XXVIII. A Carroll for New-yeares day.

Th'olde yeare by course is past and gone,
olde Adam Lord from vs expell:
New creatures make vs euery one,
new life becomes the New-yeare well.
As new borne babes from malice keepe,
new wedding garments O Christ we craue:
That we thy face in heauen may see
with Angels bright our soules to saue.

Chorus.

So shall our hearts with heauen agree,
And both giue laud and praise to thee.
Amen.
