1

To God, who's good alwayes,

2

The God os Gods give praise;

3

The Lord of Lords, strange things

4

To passe alone who brings.
His prayse display,
Whose mercys great
Admitt no date,
Bot last for ay.

5

Whose wisdome wondrouse proves;
The heavins which made and moves;

6

The earth, which deeps do bound;
Who deeps above did found;
His praise display,
Whose mercys great
Admitt no date,
Bot last for ay.

7

Him praise, whose word devyne
Heavin's greater lights made shyne;

8

The sun̄e to guyd the day;

9

The moone and stars which stray
Night's reull to beare;
Whose mercys great
Outlast all date,
And ay appeare.

10

His praises O persew,
Who Egypt's first borne slew

11

With mighty hand, with arme

12

Outstreacht, who (safe from harme)
Made Israell way;
Whose mercys great
Admitt no date,
But last for ay;

208

13

Who did the wavs devyde,

14

And Israell through did guyde,

15

Whil Pharo and his hoast
Wer in the Read [Sea] lost.
His prayse display,
Whoes mercyes great
Admitt no date
Bot last for ay.

16

Through wildernesses waist
Who with his people past;

17

Great kings who did subdue,

18

Evin famous kings who slew;
His praise display,
Whose mercyes great
Admitt no date
Bot last for ay;

19

As Sihon, prince and head,
Who Amorites did lead,

20

And Ogh who, soveraine,
Did over Bashan raigne.
His praise display,
Whose mercyes great
Admitt no date
Bot last for ay.

21

For a posessioune
Who did dispose vpon

22

Their lands, evin what they had,
His servants Israell made;
His praise display
For without date
His mercys great
Endure for ay.

209

23

Who did not us forgett,
Broght low and sore o'rsett;

24

But, (whil quit lost we seem'd)
Ws from our foes redeem'd.
His praise display,
For without date
His mercys great
Endure for ay.

25

O praise him, from whose hand,
(As such in need doeth stand)
Food to all flesch is given;

26

Wnto the God of heaven
Give praise allway,
For without date
His mercys great
Endure for ay.
