Soli Deo omnis Gloria.

Almighty, Good, Great, Merciful, and Iust,
The Angel's Joy; of Men the Hope and Trust:
Heaven is thy Throne, thou spans it with thine hand,
Non-entities obey at thy Command.
Earth's thy Foot-stool, thou view's it with thine eye,
Yet both are narrow, for thy Majesty.
All that we have, we owe it unto thee;
Both Life, and Breath, and our Existencie.
Thou (when we were o'r-guilt with Adam's stain)
Turn'd QEANQRW=POS, to restore's again,
And by thy Powr and Spirit did us call,
To guid our Feet, from such another fall.
Thou'rt only good; and he that loves not thee
Is Satan's Slave, and not as yet set free
From strength of Sin, which thou alone most high,
Didst overcome, gave us the Victory.
Let Angels praise, and Men adore thy Name,
And let all beings bow, and pay the same.
Omniscience and Omnipotence are thine;
And thy Ubiquity admits no line.
Then let thy Kingdome turn to Monarchy,
And it's Duration be Eternity.
That Sin and Death, may us no more destroy,
Then when Stars sung, and thy Sons shouted joy.
