Another of the same
[Aloft, I raise my soul, oh Lord, to thee]
Aloft, I raise my soul, oh Lord, to thee;And I in thee alone, my trust have placed,
By those therfore, that seek to mischeeve me,
Oh, let me not be shamed, nor disgraced.
Confound not those who seek to do thy will;
But, shame those mē that Causeles have offended,
Direct thou me in thy Truths pathway, still;
For (Lord my health) on thee I have attended.
Eternall God, in mercie, thinck on me,
As it hath bene of old thy gratious fashion:
Forgot, let all my youthfull errors be;
For thy love sake, Remember thy compassion.
Great is thy grace, & great thy Iustice, Lord:
Therfor, thy waies to sinful men thou showest
Healp to thee meek, thou dost, likewise, afford
Whē he is iudgd; & guid'st him where thō goest,
In all thy waies, both Truth & Mercie be,
47
Keep therfor, Lord, thy grace in store for me;
(For thy namesake) though I have ill deserved.
Let those, in whome thy sacred fear is found,
In their desired pathway, Lord, persever.
Make true content, in all their soules abound:
And, let their seed, possesse the land, for ever.
No man oh Lord, who stands in fear of thee,
Shall from thy league or Counsels, be debarred.
On thee, therfore, mine eyes attending be,
That from the net, my feet may be vnsnared;
Pleasd be, in love, to visit me againe;
For, lo; despis'd I am, & sore destressed.
Quit me, from all my sorrowes & my paine;
For, my hart-greefs (oh Lord) are much encræsed.
Regard my wants; Behold, & mark my woes;
Remitting all wherin I have offended.
See, See, oh Lord, what numbers are my foes;
And, what despights to me they have intended.
To help & save my soul, entreated be:
Thou art my Garde, oh! keep me vndisgraced,
Vpright, & pure, because, I trust in thee:
And, from all Cares, let Isr'el be released.
