O Praise our Lord, all you powers of my soul; praise the immortal King of Saints and Angels:
Praise him as the Author of all their graces; praise him as the Finisher of all their glorys:
Praise him in the admirable priviledges of his Virgin-Mother; whom he obeyed on earth and assum'd into heav'n:
That he might give us hope our petitions will be heard, presented by the hand of so power∣ful an Advocate:
Praise him in the mighty hosts of Angels;
whom he sets about us as the Guard of our lives:
That they may safely keep us in all our ways; and carry us at last to their own home.
Praise him in the sacred Colledg of Apostles, to whom he reveal'd the mysterys of his Kingdom:
That they might teach us too those heavenly truths; and shew us the same best way to feli∣city.
Praise him in the generous fortitude of Mar∣tyrs; whom he strengthen'd with courage to resist even to death:
That we might learn of them to hold fast our faith; and rather lose this life, then hazard the Other.
Praise him in the eminent fanctity of Con∣fessors; whose whole design was a course of heroick Vertue:
That we might raise our minds from our usual lazy flight; and with a quick and active wing mount up towards heav'n:
Praise him in the Angelical purity of Virgins, whose harts he enflam'd with his divine charity:
That they might kindle ours with the same chast fire; the same fe••••vent love to the spouse of our souls:
Praise him in the perfect holines of all his Saints; whose lives he moulded into so various shapes:
That every size of ours might readily be fur∣nisht * with a pattern cut out, and fitted for it self.
O praise our Lord all you powers of my soul; praise the immortal King of Saints and Angels:
Praise every Person of the sacred Deity; and give a harty joy to the whole court of heaven.
Blessed for ever be the Eternal Father; who has fixt his Angels in so high a happines:
Triumph bright Angels on your radiant thrones; and shine continually in the presence of your God:
Blessed for be ever the Eternal Son; who has crown'd so gloriously his incomparable Mo∣ther:
Live most miraculous Mother of the King of heaven; and dwel perpetually in the joys of thy Son:
Blessed for ever be the Eternal Spirit; whose grace prefers all the Saints into glory:
Rejoyce every happy Saint in your own feli∣city; rejoyce every one in the felicity of All.
Blessed for ever be the undivided Trinity; whose sight alone is the heaven of heaven:
Sing all you holy Citizens of heaven; sing all together everlasting hymns:
Sing, and among your highest fervours forget not us; who thus in our low way remember you:
Still pray our dear Redeemer to save our souls; and still we'l praise his Name for saving yours. Glory be▪ &c.
Antiph. Rejoyce, O you Holy and Just, Al∣leluja: for our Lord has chosen you for his in∣heritance, Alleluja.
Antiph. Perpetual light shall shine on thy Saints, O Lord, Alleluja: and joy and glory for ever, Alleluja.
