IESVS THE SONNE OF DAVID, PLAYES ON the harp in the hart, vvhile the Angels sing.

The Hymne.

VVhen IESVS doth my hart inspire,
As Orpheus, with his tuned lire,
The trees with power attractiue drew,
My hart deep rooted (where it grew
In baren soyle without content)
So powerfully he drawes, that rent
From thence, it followes him, takes root,
And so self-loue, which had set foot
Is banished farre, who charm'd before
My hart deluded. Euermore
IESV be al in al, my part,
My God, musitian to my hart,
And harmony, which solace brings
Ah touch my hart, & tune it's strings.
