Benedixisti

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #48a (1640) First Line: Thou hast been mercifull indeed Lyrics: 1 Thou hast been mercifull indeed, O Lord, unto thy land: For thou restoredst Jacob's seed, from thraldom by strong hand. 2 The wicked waies that they were in, thou didst them cleane remit: And thou didst hide thy peoples sin, full close thou coverdst it. 3 Thine anger eke didst asswage, that all thy wrath was gone: And so didst turn thee from thy rage, with them to be at one. 4 O God our health do now convert thy people unto thee: Put all thy wrath from us apart, and angry cease to be. 5 Why shall thine anger never end, but still proceed on us? And shall thy wrath it selfe extend upon all ages thus? 6 Wilt thou not rather turn therefore, and quicken us that we. And all thy folk may evermore be glad and joy in thee? 7 O Lord on us do thou declare thy goodnesse to our wealth: Shew forth to us, and do not spare thine aid and saving health. 8 I will heark what God saith, for he speaks to his people peace, And to his Saints, that never they returne to foolishnesse. 9 For why? his help is still at hand, to such as do him feare: Whereby great glory in our land shall dwell and flourish there. 10 For truth and mercy there shall meet, in one to take their place: And peace shall justice with kisse greet, and there they shall embrace. 11 As truth from earth shall spring apace and flourish pleasantly: So righteousnesse shall shew her face, and look from heaven high. 12 Yea God himselfe doth take in hand to give us each good thing: And through the coasts of all the land, the earth her fruit shall bring. 13 Before his face shall justice go, much like a guide or stay: He shall direct his steps also, and keep them in the way.

I know and well do prove, thou answerest me againe. 8 Among the gods (O Lord) is none with thee to be compar'd: And none can do as thou alone, the like hath not beene heard. The second Part: 9 The Gentiles and the people all, which thou didst make and frame, Before thy face on knees shall fall, and glorifie thy Name. 10 For why? thou art so much of might, all power is thy owne: Thou workest wonders still in sight, for thou art God alone. 11 O teach me, Lord, thy way, and I shall in thy truth proceed: O joyne my heart to thee so nigh, that I thy Name may dread. 12 To thee my God will I give praise, with all my heart O Lord: And glorifie thy Name alwaies, for ever through the world. 13 For why? thy mercy shew'd to me is great, and doth excell: Thou setst my soule at liberty, out from the lower hell. 14 O Lord the proud against me rise, and heaps of men of might: They seek my soule and in no wise will have thee in their sight. 15 Thou Lord art mercifull and meek, full slack and slow to wrath: Thy goodnesse is full great, and eke thy truth no measure hath. 16 O turne to me and mercy great, thy strength to me apply: O help and save thine own servant, thy handmaids sonne am I. 17 On me some signe of favor shew, that all my foes may see, And be asham'd, because (Lord), thou dost help and comfort me.

Domine Deus

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #49b (1640) First Line: Lord God of health the hope and stay Lyrics: 1 Lord God of health the hope and stay thou art alone to me: I call and cry throughout the day, and all the night to thee. 2 O let my prayer soone ascend unto thy sight on hie: Incline thine eare, O Lord attend, and hearken to my cry. 3 For why? with woe my heart is fill'd, and doth in trouble dwell: My life and breath almost doth yield, and draweth nigh to hell. 4 I am esteem'd as one of them that in the pit do fall And made as one among those men that have no strength at all. 5 As one among the dead, and free from things that here remaine It were more ease for me to be with them the which are slaine. 6 As those that lie in grave, I say, whom thou hast cleane forgot: The which thy hand hath cut away, and thou regard'st them not. 7 Yea like to one shut up full sure within the lowest pit, In places dark and all obscure, and in the depth of it. 8 Thine anger and thy wrath likewise full sore on me do lie: And all thy stormes against me rise, my soul to vexe and trie. 9 Thou putst my friends far off from me, and mak'st them hate me sore: I am shut up in prison fast, and can come forth no more. 10 My sight doth faile through grief and wo, I call to thee, O God: Throughout the day my hands also to thee I stretch abroad. The second Part: 11 Dost thou unto the dead declare thy wondrous works of fame? Shall dead to life again repaire, and praise thee for the same? 12 Or shall thy loving kindnesse Lord, be preached in the grave? Or shall with them that are destroid thy truth her honour have? 13 Shall they that lie in dark full low, of all thy wonders wot? Or there shall they thy justice know, where all things are forgot? 14 But I O Lord, to thee alwaies do cry and call apace: My prayer eke ere it be day, shall come before thy face. 15 Why dost thou Lord abhorre my soule in griefe that seeketh thee? And now, O Lord, why dost thou hide thy face away from me? 16 I am afflicted dying still, from youth this many a yeare: Thy terrors which do vese me ill, with troubled mind I beare. 17 The furies of thy wrathfull rage full sore upon me fall: Thy terrors eke do not asswage, but me oppresse withall. 18 All day they compasse me about, as waters at the tide: And all at once with streams full stout, beset me on each side. 19 Thou settest far from me my friends, and lovers every one: Yea and minr old acquaintance all out of my sight are gone.

Hymnal: WBPF1640 #49c (1640) First Line: To sing the mercies of the Lord Lyrics: 1 To sing the mercies of the Lord, my tongue shall never spare: And with my mouth from age to age, thy truth I will declare. 2 For I have said, that mercy shall for evermore remaine: In that thou dost the heavens stay, they truth appeareth plaine. 3 To mine elect, saith God, I made a covenant and behest: My servant David to persuade, I swore and did protest. 4 Thy seed for ever I will stay, and stablish it full fast: And still uphold thy throne alway, from age to age to last. 5 The heavens shew with joy and mirth, thy wondrous works, O Lord: Thy Saints within thy Church on earth thy faith and truth record. 6 Who with the Lord is equall then, in all the clouds abroad? Among the sonnes of all the gods what one is like our God? 7 God in assembly of his Saints is greatly to be dread: And over all that dwell about, in terrour to be had. 8 Lord God of hoasts, in all the world, what one is like to thee? On every side most mighty Lord, thy truth is seen to be. 9 The raging sea by thine advice, thou rulest at thy will: And when the waves thereof arise, thou mak'st them calm and still. 10 And Egypt (Lord) thou hast subdu'd, and thou hast it destroid: Yea, thou thy foes with mighty arme hast scattered all abroad. The second Part: 11 The heavens are thine & still have been likewise the earth and land: The world and all that is therein. thou foundedst with thy hand: 12 Both North & South, with East & West, thy selfe didst make and frame: Both Tabor mount and eke Hermon, rejoyce and praise thy Name. 13 Thine arm is strong and full of power all might therein doth lie: The strength of thy right hand each houre thou liftest up on hie. 14 In righteousness and equity thou hast thy seat and place: Mercy and truth are still with thee, and go before thy face, 15 That folk is blest that knowes aright thy present power,O God: For in the favour of thy sight they walk full safe abroad. 16 For in thy Name throughout the day they greatly do rejoyce: And through thy righteousness have they a pleasant fame and noise. 17 For why? their glory, strength and aid, in thee alone doth lie: Thy goodnesse eke that hath us staid, shall lift our horn on hie. 18 Our strength that doth defend us well, the Lord to us doth bring: The holy One of Israel he is our guide and King. 19 Sometimes thy will unto thy Saints in vision thou didst show: And thus then didst thou say to them thy mind to make them know. 20 A man of might I have erect, your king and guide to be: And set him up whom I elect among the folk to me. The third Part. 21 My servant David I appoint, whom I have searched out: And with my holy oyle annoint him King of all the rout. 22 For why? my hand is ready still with him for to remaine: And with my arm also I will him strengthen and sustaine. 23 The enemies shall not him oppresse, they shall him not devoure: Nor yet the sonmes of wickedness on him have any power. 24 His foes likewise I will destroy before his face in sight: And those that hate him I will plague, and strike them with my might. 25 My truth and mercy eke withall, shall still upon him lie: And in my name his horne eke shall be lifted up on high. 26 His kingdom I will set to be upon the sea and land: And eke the running floods shall he embrace with his right hand. 27 He shall depend with all his heart on me, and thus shall say: My Father and my God thou art, my rock my health and stay. 28 As my first-borne I will him take, of all on earth that springs: His might and honour I will make above all earthly Kings. 29 My mercy shall be with him still, as I my selfe have told: My faithfull covenant to fulfil, my mercy I will hold. 30 And eke his seed I will sustaine for ever strong and sure: So that his seed shall still remaine: while heaven doth endure. The fourth Part: 31 If that his sonnes forsake my Law, and so begin to swerve: And of my judgements have none awe, nor will not them observe. 32 Or if they do not use aright my statutes to them made: And set all my commandments light, and will not keep my trade. 33 Then with the rod will I begin, their doing to amend: And so will scourge them for their sin, if that they they offend. 34 My mercy yet and my goodnesse, I will not take them fro: Nor handle him with craftinesse, and so my truth forgo. 35 But sure my covenant I will hold, with all that I have spoke: No word the which my lips have told, shall alter or be broke. 36 Once sware I by my holinesse, and that performe will I: With David I shall keep promise, to him I will not lie. 37 His seed for evermore shall raigne, and eke his throne of might, As doth the Sum, it shall remaine for ever in my sight. 38 And as the Moone within the skie for ever standeth fast: A faithful witnesse from on hie. so shall his kingdome last. 39 But now Lord as thou dost reject, and now thou changest cleare: Yea, thou art wrath with thine elect, thin own annointed deare. 40 The covenant with thy servant made, Lord thou hast quite undone: And down upon the ground also and cast his royal crowne. The fifth Part: 41 Thou pluck'st his hedges up with might, his wals thou dost confound: Thou beatest eke his bulwarks down, and brakst them to the ground. ground: 42 That he is sore destroid and torne, of commers by throughout: And so is made a mock and scorn to all that dwell about. 43 Thou their right hand hast lifted up, that him so sore annoy: And all his foes, that him devoure, 1oe thou hast made to joy. 44 His sword's edge thou dost take away that should his foes withstand: To him in warre no victory thou giv'st, nor upper hand. 45 His glory thou dost also wast, his throne, his joy, and mirth, By thee are overthrown and cast full low upon the earth. 46 Thou hast cut off, and made full short his youth and lusty daies And rais'd of him an ill report, with shame and great dispraise. 47 How long away from me, O Lord, for ever wilt thou turn? And shall thine anger still alway as fire consume and burne? 48 O call to mind, remember then, my time consumeth fast: Why hast thou made the sonnes of men as things in vain to wast? 49 What man is he that liveth here, and death shall never see? Or from the hand of Hell his soule shall he deliver free? 50 Where is (O Lord) thine old goodnesse, so oft declar'd beforne, Which by thy truth and uprightnesse to David thou hast sworne? 51 The great rebukes to mind I call, that on thy servants lie: The railings of the people all, borne in my brest have I: 52 Wherewith (O Lord) thine enemies blasphemed have thy Name: The steps of thine anointed ones they cease not to defame. 53 All praise to thee, O Lord of hosts, both now and eke for aye: Through skie and earth, all all the coasts Amen, Amen, I say.

Domine refugium

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #51 (1640) First Line: Thou Lord hast been our sure defence Lyrics: 1 Lord, hast been our sure defence, our place of ease and rest: In all times past, yea so long since, as cannot be exprest. 2 Ere there was made mountaine or hill, the earth and world abroad: From age to age, and alwaies still for ever thou art God. 3 Thou grindest man through grief and paine to dust or clay, and then, And then thou saist againe returne, againe ye sonnes of men. 4 The lasting of a thousand yeares, what is it in thy sight? As yesterday it doth appeare, or as a watch by night. 5 So soone as thou dost scatter them, then is their life and trade All as asleepe, and like the grasse, whose beauty soon doth fade. 6 Which in the morning shines full bright but fadeth by and by: And is cut down ere it be night, all withered, dead, and drie. 7 For through thine anger we consume, our might is much decaid: And of thy fervent wrath and fume we are full sore afraid. 8 The wicked works that we have wrought thou setst before thine eye: Our privy faults, yea, eke our thoughts thy countenance doth spie. 9 For through thy wrath our daies do wast, thereof doth nought remaine: Our yeares consume as words or blsts, and are not cal'd againe. 10 Our time is threescore yeares and ten, That we do live on mold: If one see fourscore, surely then, we count him wondrous old. The second Part: 11 Yet of this time the strength and chief the which we count upon, Is nothing els but painefull griefe, and we as blasts are gone. 12 Who once doth know what strength is there what might thine anger hath: Or in his heart who doth thee feare according to thy wrath? 13 Instruct us Lord to know and try, how long our daies remaine: That then we may our hearts apply, true wisdome to attaine. 14 Returne, O Lord, how long wilt thou forth on thy wrath proceed? Shew favour to thy servants now, and help them at their need. 15 Refresh us with thy mercy soone, then shall we joyful be, All times so long as life doth last, in heart rejoyce will we. 16 As thou hast plagued us before, now also make us glad: And for the yeares wherein full sore affliction we have had. 17 O let thy work and power appeare, and on thy servants light: And shew unto thy children deare, thy glory and thy might. 18 Lord, let thy grace and glory stand on us thy servants thus: Confirme the works we take in hand, Lord prosper them to us.

Qui habitat

Hymnal: WBPF1640 #52a (1640) First Line: He that within the secret place Lyrics: 1 He that within the secret place of God most high doth dwell: In shadow of the mightiest grace at rest shall keep him well. 2 Thou art my hope and my strong hold, I to the Lord will say; My God he is, in him will I my whole affiance stay. 3 He shall defend thee from the snare, the which the hunter laid: And from the deadly plague and care whereof thou art afraid: 4 And with his wings shall cover thee, and keep thee safely there: His faith and truth thy fence shall be as sure as shield and speare. 5 So that thou shalt not need I say, to feare or be affright, Of all the shafts that flie by day, or terrours of the night: 6 Nor of the plague that privily doth walk in dark so fast: Nor yet of that which doth destroy, and at noone day doth wast. 7 Yea at thy side as thou dost stand, a thousand dead shall be, Ten thousand eke at thy right hand, and yet shalt thou be free. 8 But thou shalt see it for thy part, thine eyes shall well regard: That even like to their desert the wicked have reward. 9 For why? O Lord, I only lust, to stay my hope on thee: And in the highest I put my trust, my sure defence is he. 10 Thou shalt not need the ill to feare, with thee it shall be well: Nor yet the plagues shall once come neare the house where thou dost dwell. 11 For why? unto his Angels all, with charge commanded he: That still in all thy waies they shall preserve and prosper thee. 12 And in their hands shall beare thee up, still waiting thee upon: So that thy foot shall never chance to spurne at any stone. 13 Upon the Lions thou shalt go, the Adder fell and long; And tread upon the Lions young, with Dragons stout and strong: 14 For he that trusteth unto me, I will acquit him quite: And him defend, because that he doth know my Name aright. 15 When he for help on me doth cry, an answer I will give: And from his griefe take him will I in glory for to live. 16 With length of yeares and daies of wealthe I will fulfull his time: The goodnesse of my saving health, I will declare to him. Scripture: Psalm 91 Languages: English

Bonum est

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #52b (1640) First Line: It is a thing both good and meet Lyrics: 1 It is a thing both good and meet to praise the highest Lord: And to thy Name, O thou most High, to sing with one accord. 2 To shew the kindnesse of the Lord, betime ere day be light: And eke declare his truth abroad, when it doth draw to night. 3 On a ten stringed instruments, on Lute and Harp so sweet: With all the mirth you can invent, of instruments most meet. 4 For thou hast made me to rejoyce, in things so wrought by thee: And I have joy in heart and voice, thy handy-works to see. 5 O Lord, how glorious and how great, are all thy works so stout! So deeply are thy counsels set, that none can trie them out. 6 The man unwise hath not the wit, these things to passe to bring: And all such fooles are nothing fit, to understand this thing. 7 When so the wicked at their will, as grasse do spring full fast: They when they flourish in their ill, for ever shall be wast. 8 But thou art mighty Lord most High, and thou dost raigne therefore, In every time eternally, both now and evermore. 9 For why? O Lord, behold and see, behold thy foes I say, How all that work iniquity, shall perish and decay. 10 But thou like as an Unicorn shalt lift mine horne on hie" With fresh and new prepared oyle thine oynted King am I. 11 And of my foes before mine eyes shall see the fall and shame Of all that up against me rise, mine eares shall heare the same. 12 The just shall flourish up on high, as Date-trees bud and blow, And as the Cedars multiply, in Libanus that grow. 13 For they are planted in the place, and dwelling of our God: Within his courts they spring apace, and flourish all abroad. 14 And in their age much fruit shal bring both fat and well beseen And pleasantly both bud and spring with bowes and branches green. 15 To shew that God is good and just, and upright in his will: He is my rock, my hope, and trust, in him there is none ill.

Dominus regnavit

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #53a (1640) First Line: The Lord as King aloft doth raigne Lyrics: 1 The Lord as King aloft doth raigne, with glory goodly dight: And he to shew his strength most maine, hath girt himselfe with might. 2 The Lord likewise the earth hath made, and shaped it so sure, No might can make it move or fade, at stay it doth endure. 3 Ere that the world was made or wrought thy seat was set before: Beyond all time that can be thought, thou hast been evermore. 4 The floods, O Lord, the floods do rise, they roare and make a noise: The floods (I say) did enterprise, and lifted up their voice. 5 Yea, though the storms arise in sight though seas do rage and swell: The Lord is strong and more of might, for he on high doth dwell. 6 And look what promise he doth make, his houshold to defend: For just and true they shall intake, all times without an end.

Deus ultionum

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #53b (1640) First Line: O Lord thou dost revenge all wrong Lyrics: 1 O Lord,thou dost revenge all wrong, that office longs to thee: Sith vengeance doth to thee belong, declare that all may see. 2 Set forth thy selfe, for thou of right the earth doth judge and guide: Reward the proud and men of might according to their pride. 3 How long shall wicked men beare sway with lifting up their voice? How long shall wicked men, I say, thus triumph and rejoyce? 4 How long shall they with brags burst out, and proudly prate their fill? Shall they rejoyce that be so stout, whose works are ever ill? 5 Thy flock, O Lord, thine heritage they spoile and vexe full sore: Against thy people they do rage still daily more and more. 6 The widowes which are comfortlesse, and strangers they destroy: They slay the children fatherlesse, and none doth put them by. 7 And when they take these things in hand, this talk they have of thee: Can Jacob's God this understand? tush, no, he cannot see. 8 O folk unwise, and people rude, some knowledge now discerne, Ye fooles among the multitude, at length begin to learne. 9 The Lord who made the eare of man, he needs of right must heare: He made the eye, all things must then before his sight appeare. 10 The Lord doth all the world correct, and make them understand: Shall he not then your deeds detect? how can ye scape his hand? The second Part: 11 The Lord doth know the thoughts of man, his heart he sees full plaine: The Lord (I say) mans thoughts doth scan, and findeth them but vaine. 12 But Lord, that man is happy sure, whom thou dost keep in awe: And through correction dost procure to teach him in thy Law. 13 Whereby he shall in quiet rest in time of trouble sit: When wicked men shall be supprest, and fall into the pit. 14 For sure, the Lord will not refuse his people for to take: His heritage whom he did chuse, he will no time forsake. 15 Untill that judgement be decreed to justice to convert: That all may follow her with speed, that are of upright heart. 16 But who upon my part will stand, against the cursed traine? Or who shall rid me from their hand that wicked works maintaine? 17 Except the Lord had been mine aid mine enemies to repell: My soul and life had now been laid almost as low as hell. 18 When I did say, my foot did slide, I now am like to fall: Thy goodnesse Lord did so provide, to stay me up withall. 19 When with my selfe I mused much, and could no comfort find, Then Lord thy goodnesse did me touch, and that did ease my mind. 20 Wilt thou inhaunt thy self, and draw with wicked men to sit? Which with pretence instead of law, much mischiefe do commit. 21 For they consult against the life of righteous men and good: And in their counsels they are rife, to shed the guiltlesse bloud. 22 But yet the Lord he is to me a strong defence or lock: He is my God to whom I flie, he is my strength and rock. 23 And he shall cause their mischiefs al themselves for to annoy: And in their malice they shall fall, our God shall them destroy. Scripture: Psalm 94 Languages: English
