The Moraliziation.
Christe is this Alexander Kyng,
That swaies the sacred sworde:
We subiectes his here all liuyng,
If wee doe feare this Lorde.
That swaies the sacred sworde:
We subiectes his here all liuyng,
If wee doe feare this Lorde.
As he is fauourable, and with
Merciefull repleate:
So mercifull doeth he appeare,
To synners small and greate.
Merciefull repleate:
So mercifull doeth he appeare,
To synners small and greate.
Not limityng a tyme onely,
Of life to mortall men,
But lends vs sacred lore, whereby
He maie our hartes lighten,
With Candle light of deuine might,
Let vs take due tyme then.
Of life to mortall men,
But lends vs sacred lore, whereby
He maie our hartes lighten,
With Candle light of deuine might,
Let vs take due tyme then.
And let vs come when Christe, doeth call
While Candle light doeth last,
Then pardon we procure vs shall,
Before the tyme bee past.
While Candle light doeth last,
Then pardon we procure vs shall,
Before the tyme bee past.
So shall we blessed light enioye,
And Christes pardon aye:
And feare no worldly foes annoye,
That would seeke our decaie.
And Christes pardon aye:
And feare no worldly foes annoye,
That would seeke our decaie.
With humble faithfull Englishe harte,
To Christe praie we eche one,
Our roiall Queene for to imparte:
His blessed light vpon:
And vs to stande with lamps in hande,
By hym in ioyfull throne.
