BLest be the God of Harmony, and Love! The God above! And holy dove! Whose Interceding, spirituall grones Make restless mones For dust, and stones, For dust in every part, But a hard, stonic heart.

O how in this thy Quire of Souls I stand (Propt by thy hand) A heap of sand! Which busie thoughts (like winds) would scatter quite And put to flight, But for thy might; Thy hand alone doth tame Those blasts, and knit my frame,

So that both stones, and dust, and all of me Joyntly agree To cry to thee, And in this Musick by thy Martyrs bloud Seal'd, and made good Present, O God! The Eccho of these stones — My sighes, and grones.
