VVednesday Complin.
Hymn XVI.
[And do we then beleeve]
And do we then beleeve
There is a world to come;
Where all this world shal summon'd be
To take their final doom?
There is a world to come;
Where all this world shal summon'd be
To take their final doom?
Is there a heav'n indeed,
To crown the innocent?
Is there a hell, and horrid pains,
The wicked to torment?
To crown the innocent?
Is there a hell, and horrid pains,
The wicked to torment?
Are these eternal too,
And never to have end?
Shal never those delights decay,
Those sorrows never mend?
And never to have end?
Shal never those delights decay,
Those sorrows never mend?
Good God is all this true?
And sure most true it is:
And yet we live, as if there were
Nothing so false as this.
And sure most true it is:
And yet we live, as if there were
Nothing so false as this.

O quicken Lord, our faith
Of these great joys and fears:
And make the last days trumpet be
Stil ringing in our ears.
Of these great joys and fears:
And make the last days trumpet be
Stil ringing in our ears.
Stil may this glorious hope
Shine bright before our eys:
We shal at last go up to meet
Our JESUS in the skys.
Shine bright before our eys:
We shal at last go up to meet
Our JESUS in the skys.
Come, JESU, Come, and take
Our banisht souls to Thee:
Come quickly Lord, that in thy light
Our Eys thy light may see.
Our banisht souls to Thee:
Come quickly Lord, that in thy light
Our Eys thy light may see.
Glory to Thee great God,
One Coeternal Three:
As at the first begining was
May now and ever be.

As at the first begining was
May now and ever be.
