Lord I will sing to thee,
For angry though thou wast,
Yet thou with-drewst thy wrath from me,
And sent me comfort hast.

Loe, God's my health; on whom,
I fearelesse, trust will lay,
For oh the LORD, the LORD's become
My strength, my Song, my stay.
I fearelesse, trust will lay,
For oh the LORD, the LORD's become
My strength, my Song, my stay.
And you, with Ioy (for this)
Shall water fetch away,
Out of those wels, where safetie is:
And thus, then shall you say.
Shall water fetch away,
Out of those wels, where safetie is:
And thus, then shall you say.
Oh sing vnto the LORD,
His Name and works proclaime
Vnto the people beare record,
That glorious is his Name.
His Name and works proclaime
Vnto the people beare record,
That glorious is his Name.
Vnto the LORD oh sing:
For, wonders he hath done,
Yea, many a renowned thing,
Which through the earth is knowne.
For, wonders he hath done,
Yea, many a renowned thing,
Which through the earth is knowne.

Sing forth, aloud all yee,
That doe in Sion dwell:
For loe, thy holy-One in thee,
Is great, oh Israel.
That doe in Sion dwell:
For loe, thy holy-One in thee,
Is great, oh Israel.
