The seuenth Prayer
[illeg.]e. 13. 20.
1
O God vve are poore sheepe that strayIn vvods, in vvaies of sinne
Bovve dovvne thine eare to vs, & heare
And rid vs of this dinne.
2
That vve may knovve thy grace in ChristThat keepes vs as his flocke.
That leads vs forth to streames of ioy
And setts vs on a rocke.
3
That soe vve may ore see this vvorldAnd all the things in it
And then doe place vs vp on high
With him in ioy to sit.
4
Graūt vs good lord that vve may seeThe good that doth thee please
So shall vve liue in hart in mind
In ioy, in rest, in ease.
68
5
Graunt lord vvhat thou dost bid [illeg.] doeThat vve may doe the same
Bid vvhat thou vvilt, & graūt vs grace
And vve vvill praise thy name
6
To Christ our lord the lambe of godThat shed his bloud for sinnes,
To rid vs from the feends of hell
And all their crafts, & ginns.
7
Be praisd of vs all tymes, & tydsIn vvoe, & eke in vvealth
And let the folke on all the earth
Giue laud to him for health.
O lord god of our health I crie day
& night to thee, let my grones come night
to thee, & bovve dovvne thine eare to my
sighes that I make to thee.
