The third Prayer.
Phil. 1. 9.
1
Graunt to vs lord that loue may dvvellIn these poore tents of ours
For vve must hence vve knovve full
And fade as doe the flovvers
2
And graūt good lord that in thy loueIt may grovve more, & more
That vve may knovve vvhat things are ill
And lead not to thy lore.
3
So may vve in the day of doomeIn Christ be void of shame
And fild vvith his faire fruits of loue
May scape the rod of blame
4
Then shall vve sing the praise to theeIn midst of all thy Saincts,
Then shall our soules be glad, & ioy,
That novve is vveake, & faints.
60
5
I cease not lord to pray for thoseThat seeke, & sue to thee
That they may knovve hovve safe, & sure
In Christ their soules may be
6
And that vve all may vvalke, and vvorkeIn vvord, in vvorth, in all
As he that hath vs cald to this
And rid vs of our thrall.
7
Who hath vs fred from povver of deathFrō foggs, & doggs of hell
And set vs by his chaire of state
With Christ for aye to dwell.
Saue vs o lord our god, & bring vs from those that doe not call on thee that vve may call on thee, & laud, & praise thy name for aye. Psal. 106. 47.
