SON. VIII.
THy thundring voice and Angell Lord of long,
Hath cald my soule from slumber where it lay,
The harmony of heauenly musickes song,
Hath made my wandring feete at last to stay:
Direct thou me also the readie way
Vnto thy church, that in thy holy place
Thy word and law I may in heart obay,
And worship thee before thy peoples face.
Grant me I say, such measure of thy grace,
That greedily by faith I swallow vp
Thy booke of truth, and so thy word imbrace,
That frutefully I taste saluations cup.
Thou who doest rule the earth, the sea and land:
In my defence, with power and glory stand.
