¶ Da Pacem Domine. G.

〈♫〉〈♫〉 GEue peace in these our dayes O Lord great 〈♫〉〈♫〉 daungers are now at hand, thyne enemyes with one 〈♫〉〈♫〉 accord, Christes name is euery land, seeke to de- 〈♫〉〈♫〉 face, roote out and race, Thy true right worshyp 〈♫〉〈♫〉 in deede. Be thou the stay, Lord we thee pray thou 〈♫〉〈♫〉 helpest alone in all neede.

Geue vs that peace, which we do lacke,
Through misbelie sand ill life:
Thy word to offer thou doest not slacke,
Which we vnkindly gainstriue.
With fire and sword,
This healthfull word.
Some persecute and oppresse:
Some with the 〈◊〉〈◊〉,
Coufesse the truth,
Without sincere godlynesse.

Geue peace and vs thy spirite downe send,
With grief and repe••ts once true:
Do pearce our hartes, our liues to amend,
And by fayth in Christ renue.
That feare and dread,
Warre and bloustshed,
Through thy sweete mercy and grace:
May from vs slyde,
Thy truth abide,
And shyne in euery place.
