The fift straine.

1

With ioy lord of the Iust
Let my poore soule be fraught
That I may liue in peace, and glee,
And free from all thats naught

2

Lord keepe me for in thee
I stay, and stand and feed
Thou art my god, and of my goods
O lord thou hast noe need

3

I giue them to the Saincts
That in the vvorld doe dvvell
Yea to the folke of faith, and loue
Whose care is to doe vvell.

4

My hart is prest for aye,
And eke my tongue is soe
I vvill raise vp my soule in song
In spight of hell, and foe.

16

5

To praise my god that hath
Shevvd loue and life to me,
And made me scape both bloud, & blovve
And soe did sett me free.

6

O lord vvhat shall I pay
To thee for this thy grace
I vovve to thee, my selfe, my life
My loue, and all my race.

7

Grant lord I beg, and pray
In thee that vve may rest
So shall our soules sing to thy praise
And aye in thee be blest.

5. Sighe.

O my god vvhy art thou gone from me, and vvhy dost thou hide thy svveete face from my prayer for seeke thee, & sue to thee vvith all my hart, and that thou knovvst full vvell.
