[As the 25 Psalm.]
YE faithfull Servants of the Lord,
See that his Name ye celebrate;
And ye that fear him sing aloud
Praises to God both small and great.
Most Holy, Holy, Holy Lord
Almighty's his adored Name;
Who was before all time, and is,
And ever shall be still the same.
All Glory, Pow'r and Honour, thou
Alone art worthy to receive:
For all things by thy Pow'r were made,
All by and for thy Pleasure live.
Page 355
To thee, O spotless Lamb of God,
Riches and Pow'r of Right belong,
Wisdom and Honour, conqu'ring strength,
Glory and every praising Song.
Thou, for to expiate our Sins
Wast slain, and by thy precious Blood,
From every Nation Tribe and Tongue,
Thou hast redeemed us to God.
Page 356
Whose Pow'r, that for his Rule made way,
His Conquests ever will maintain.
We give thee thanks, Almighty Lord,
Which art, and wast, and art to come;
Who hast exerted thy great Pow'r,
And for thy Victories made room.
Let th'angry Nations rage; thy wrath blood
Is come; and it's thy time to rain
Down Judgments, and t'avenge the
Of Martyrs barbarously slain.
And now thy suffe'ring Servants, Lord,
Great Saints and Prophets thou'lt re∣gard;
And all that fear thy Name, tho' here
Despis'd shall have a great reward.
All thy just vengeance will applaud
On them, who all their Pow'r imploy'd,
To turn the Earth t' a Field of Blood;
Their turn now comes to be destroy'd.
Salvation to the Saints is come;
God's strength and mighty aids appear,
T' advance his Kingdom among Men,
Who all the Pow'r of Christ revere.
He that before the Lord accus'd
The Brethren with false Calumnies,
Is now cast head-long down, and none
Give credit longer to his Lyes.
Page 357
These valued not their Lives, but dy'd
For Love unto their dearest Lord.
Ye heav'nly Spirits above, rejoyce;
But woe to th' Earth below; whose hurt
The Dev'il with utmost rage contrives,
Knowing his time to do't's but short.
Salvation to our God belongs,
Glory and Honour are his due;
His Pow'r supreme, and all proclaim
His Judgments to be just and true.
He the great Whore has judg'd, which did
Corrupt with Idols every Land;
And has aveng'd the crying Blood
Of his slain Servants at her hand.
