The. 3. 11.
1
The lord our god our strength & stayMake vs to loue each one;
And make vs knovve hovve that vve are
Made all of flesh, & bone.
2
That soe vve may grovve vp in graceAnd firme in hart, & minde
That soe to all vve may set forth
Our loue both sure, & kind.
3
Yea not to cease till that our lordDoe come in clouds full bright
To iudge this earth, & all the folke
Yea all the vvorld in sight.
4
For is it not the loue of ChristWho did loue vs soe deare
That vve through hope of grace in him
Should liue voyd of base feare

5
Lord be thou ioy to all our hartsOur vvords, our vvorkes good make,
That vve may loue, & liue in thee
For thy sonne Christ his sake.
6
O god of peace, of loue, of lifeGrant vs to serue thee still
In spright, in soule, in hart, in mind
And this of thy good vvill.
7
Yea keepe vs lord frō blame, & blottTill Christ doth come in skey.
So shall vve sure be of thy loue
To liue, vvhen vve shall die.
Heare me o lord, & that soone for my soule doth vvaxe faint hide not thy face from me: Least I be like them that goe dovvne to the graue. Psal. 148. 7.
