CANTVS. XV.

〈♫〉〈♫〉 SIng a song of ioy, praise our God with mirth, His flocke who can de- 〈♫〉〈♫〉 〈♫〉〈♫〉 stroy, Is he not Lord of heau'n and earth? 〈♫〉〈♫〉

1

Sing a song of ioy, P••ayse our God with mirth: His flocke who can destroy? Is hee not Lord of heau'n and earth?

2

Sing wee then secure, Tuning well our strings: With voyce as Eccho pure Let vs renowne the King of Kings.

3

First who taught the day From the East to rise: Whom doth the Sunne obey When in the Seas his glory dyes?

4

Hee the Starres directs, That in order stand: Who heau'n and earth protects, But hee that fram'd them with his hand?

5

Angels round attend, Wayting on his will: Arm'd millions hee doth send, To ayde the good, or plague the ill.

6

All that dread his Name, And his Hests obserue, His arme will shield from shame, Their steps from truth shall neuer swer••e.

7

Let vs then reioyce, Sounding loud his prayse: So will hee heare our voyce, And blesse on earth our peacefull dayes.
