Dominus illuminatio

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #12b (1640) First Line: The Lord is both my health & light Lyrics: 1 The Lord is both my health & light, shall man make me dismaid? Sith God doth give me strength & might, why should I be afraid? 2 While that my foes with all their strength began with me to brawll: Thinking to eate me up, at length themselves have caught the fall. 3 Though they in camp against me lie, my heart is not afraid: In battell pight if they will try, I trust in God for aid. 4 One thing of God I do require, that he will not deny: For which I pray and will desire, till he to me apply. 5 That I within his holy place my life throughout may dwell: To see the beauty of his face, and view his Temple well. 6 In time of dread he shall me hide, within his place most pure: And keep me secret by his side, as on a rock most sure. 7 At length I know the Lord's good grace shall make me strong and stout: My foes to foile and cleane deface, that compasse me about. 8 Therefore within his house will I give sacrifice of praise: With Psalmes and songs I will apply to laud the Lord alwaies. The second Part: 9 Lord heare the voice of my complaint, for which to thee I call: Have mercy Lord on me opprest, and send me help witall. 10 My heart doth knowledge unto thee, I sue to have thy grace: Then seek my face, saist thou to me, Lord I will seek thy face. 11 In wrath turn not thy face away, nor suffer me to slide: Thou art my help still to this day, be still my God and guide. 12 My parents both their sonne forsook, and cast me off at large: E'en then the Lord himselfe yet took of me the cure and charge. 13 Teach me O Lord the way to thee, and lead me on forth right: For feare of such as watch for me, to trap me if they might. 14 Do not betake me to the will of them that be my foes; For they surmise against me still false witnesse to depose. 15 My heart would faint but that in me this hope is fixed fast: The Lord Gods good grace shall I see in life that aye shall last. 16 Trust still in God, whose whole thou art, his will abide thou must: He shall ease and strength thy heart if thou in him do trust. Scripture: Psalm 27 Languages: English

Ad te Domine

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #13a (1640) First Line: Thou art (O Lord) my strength and stay Lyrics: 1 Thou art (O Lord) my strength and stay, the succour which I crave: Neglect me not, lest I be like to them that go to grave. 2 My voice of thy suppliant heae, that unto thee doth cryL When I lift up my hands unto thy holy Ark most high. 3 Repute me not among the sort of wicked and pervert: That speak right faire unto their friends, but think full ill in heart. 4 According to their handy work, as they deserve indeed: And after their inventions let them receive their meed. 5 For they regard nothing Gods work, his law ne yet his lore: Therefore will he them and their seed destroy for evermore. 6 To render thanks unto the Lord, how great a cause have I, My voice, my prayer, and my complaint, that heard so willingly? 7 He is my shield and fortitude, my buckler in distresse: My hope, my help, my hearts reliefe, my song shall him confesse. 8 He is our strength and our defence, our enemies to resist: The health and the salvation of his elect by Christ. 9 Thy people and thine heritage, Lord blesse, guide and preserve: Increase them Lord and rule their hearts, that they may never swerve. Scripture: Psalm 28 Languages: English

Afferte Domino

Hymnal: WBPF1640 #13b (1640) First Line: Give to the Lord ye Potentates Lyrics: 1 Give to the Lord ye Potentates, ye Rulers of the world: Give ye all praise, honour and strength, unto the living Lord. 2 Give glory to his holy Name, and honour him alone: Worship him in his Majesty, within his holy throne. 3 His voice doth rule the waters all even as himselfe doth please: He doth prepare the thunder-claps, and governs all the seas. 4 The voice of God is of great force, and wondrous excellent: It is most mighty in effect, and most magnificent. 5 The voice of God doth rend and break the Cedar trees so long, The Cedar trees of Libanon, which are most high and strong. 6 And makes them leap like as a Calfe, or els the Unicorne: Not only trees, but mountaines great, wheron the trees are borne. 7 His voice divides the flames of fire, and shakes the wildernesse: It makes the desert quake for feare, that called is Cades. 8 It makes the Hinds for fear to calve, and makes the coverts plaine: Then in his Temple every man his glory doth proclaime. 9 The Lord was set above the floids, ruling the raging sea: So shall he reigne as Lord and King, for ever and for aye. 10 The Lord will give his people power, in vertue to increase: The Lord will blesse his chosen flock with everlasting peace. Scripture: Psalm 29 Languages: English

Exaltabo te Domine

Though gripes and grief and pangs full sore shall lodge with us all night: The Lord to joy shall us restore before the day be light. 6 When I enjoy'd the world at will, thus would I boast and say: Tush, I am sure to feele none ill, this wealth shall not decay. 7 For thou O Lord of thy good grace hadst sent me strength and aid; But when thou turn'st away thy face, my mind was sore dismaid, 8 Wherefore againe yet did I cry to thee O Lord of might: My God with plaints I did apply, and pray'd both day and night. 9 What gaine is in my blood (said I) if death destroy my daie? Doth dust declare thy Majesty, or yet thy truth doth praise? 10 Wherefore my God some pity take, O Lord I thee desire: Do not this simple soule forsake, of help I thee require. 11 Then didst thou turn my grief & woe into a cheerfull voice: The mourning weed thou tolok'st me fro, and mad'st me to rejoyce, 12 Wherefore my soule uncessantly shall sing unto thy praise: My Lord my God to thee will I give laud and thanks alwais.

In te Domine

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #14 (1640) First Line: O Lord I put my trust in thee Lyrics: 1 O Lord I put my trust in thee, let nothing work me shame: As thou art just deliver me, and set me quite from blame. 2 Heare me O God and that anon, to help me make good speed: Be thou my rock and house of stone, my fence in time of need. 3 For why? as stones thy strength is tri'd, thou art my fort and tow'er: For thy Names sake be thou my guide, and leade me in thy power. 4 Pluck thou my feet out of the snare, which they for me have laid: Thou art my strength, and all my care is for thy mighty aid. 5 Into thy hands Lord I commit my spirit which is thy due: Because thou hast redeemed it, O Lord my God most true. 6 I hate such folk as will not part from things to be abhor'd: When they on trifles set their heart, my trust is in the Lord. 7 For I will in thy mercy joy, I see it doth excell: Thou seest when ought would me annoy, and knowst my soule full well. 8 Thou hast not left me in their hand that would me over-charge; But thou hast set me out of band, to walk abroad at large. The second Part: 9 Great griefe O Lord, doth me assaile, some pity on me take: Mine eyes wax dim, my sight doth faile my womb for woe doth ake. 10 My life is worn with grief and paine, my yeares in wo are past: My strength is gone, & through disdaine my bones corrupt and wast. 11 Among my foes I am a scorne, my friends are all dismaid; My neighbours, and my kinsmen born, to see me are afraid. 12 As men once dead are out of mind, so am I now forgot: As small effect in me they find, as of a broken pot. 13 I heard the brags of all the rout, their threats my mind did fray: How they conspir'd and went about to take my life away. 14 But Lord I trust in thee for aid, not to be over-trod; For I confesse and still have said, thou art the Lord my God. 15 The length of all my life and age O Lord, is in thy hand: Defend me from the wrath and rage of them that me withstand. 16 To me, thy servant (Lord) expresse and shew thy joyfull face: And save me Lord for thy goodnesse, thy mercy, and thy grace. The third Part: 17 Lord, let me not be put to blame, because on thee I call: But let the wicked beare the shame, and into their grave fall. 18 O Lord, make dumb their lips outright, which are addict to lies: And cruelly with pride and spight against the just devise. 19 O how great good hast thou in store, laid up full safe for them That feare and trust in thee therefore, before the sonnes of men. 20 Thy presence shall them fence and guide from all proud brags and wrongs: Within thy place thou shalt them hide from all tile strife of tongues. 21 Thanks to the Lord, that hath declar'd on me his grace so farre: Me to defend with watch and ward, as in a town of warre. 22 Thus did I say both day and night, when I was sore opprest, Lo I was cleane cast out of sight, yet heardst thou my request. 23 Ye Saint, love ye the Lord, I say, the faithfull he doth guide: And to the proud he doth repay according to their pride. 24 Be strong and God will stay your heart, be bold and have a lust: For sure the Lord will take your part, sith ye in him do trust.

Beati quorum

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #15a (1640) First Line: The man is blest whose wickednesse Lyrics: 1 The man is blest whose wickednesse the Lord hath cleane remitted: And he whose sin and wickednesse is hid and also covered. 2 And blest is he to whom the Lord imputeth not his sin: Which in his heart hath hid no guile, nor fraud is found therein. 3 For whilst that I kept close my sin in silence and constraint: My bones did weare and waste away with daily mome and plaint. 4 For night and day thy hand on me so grievous was and smart, That all my bloud and humours moist to drinesse did convert. 5 I did therefore confesse my faults, and all my sins discover, Then thou, O Lord, didst me forgive, and all my sinnes passe over. 6 The humble man shall pray therefore, and seek thee in due time, So that the flouds of waters great shall have no power on him. 7 When trouble and adversity do compasse me about: Thou art my refuge and my joy, and thou didst rid me out. 8 Come hither and I will thee teach how thou shalt walk aright: I will thee guide as I my self have learn'd by proofe and sight. 9 Be not so rude and ignorant, as is the horse and mule: Whose mouth without a reine or bit from harm thou canst not rule. 10 The wicked man shall manifold sorrowes and griefs sustaine: But unto him that trusts in God his goodnesse shall remaine. 11 Be merry therefore in the Lord, ye just lift up your voice: And ye of pure and perfect heart, be glad and eke rejoyce. Scripture: Psalm 32 Languages: English

Exultate iusti

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #15b (1640) First Line: Ye righteous in the Lord rejoyce Lyrics: 1 Ye righteous in the Lord rejoyce, it is a seemly sight: That upright men with thankfull voice should praise the Lord of might. 2 Praise ye the Lord with harp and song in Psalmes and pleasant things: With Lutem and instrument among, that soundeth with ten strings. 3 Sing to the Lord a song most new, with courage give him praise: 4 For why? his word is ever true, his works and all his waies. 5 To judgement, equity and right, he hath a great good will: And with his gifts he doth delight the earth throughout to fill. 6 For by the word of God alone the heavens all were wroght: Their hoasts and powers every one his breath to passe hath brought. 7 The waters great gathered hath he on heapes within the shore: And hid them in the depth to be, as in a house of store. 8 All men on earth both least and most, feare God and keep his law. Ye that inhabit in each coast dread him and stand in awe. 9 What he commanded wrought it was at once with present speed: What he doth will is brought to passe with full effect indeed. 10 The counsels of the nations rude the Lord doth bring to naught: He doth defeate the multitude of their device and thought. 1 But his decrees continue still, they never slack nor swage: The motions of his mind and will take place in every age. The second Part: 12 And blest they to whom the Lord as God and guide is known: Whom he doth chuse of meere accord, to take them as his own. 13 The Lord from heaven cast his sight, on men mortall by birth: 14 Considering from his seat of might the dwellers on the earth. 15 The Lord, I say, whose had hath wrought man's heart, and doth it frame: For he alone doth know the thought and working of the same. 16 A King that trusteth in his hoast, shall nought prevaile at length; The man that of his might doth boast, shall fail for all his strength. 17 The troops of horsemen eke shall fail, their sturdy steeds shall swerve: The strength of horse shall not prevaile, the rider to preserve. 18 But lo the eyes of God intend and watch to aid the just: With such as feare him to offend, and on his goodnesse trust: 19 That he of death and great distresse, may set their soules from dread; And if that dearth their land oppresse, in hunger them to feed. 20 Wherefore our soul doth whole depend on God our strength and stay, He is our shield us to defend, and drive all darts away. 21 Our soule in God hath joy and game, rejoycing in his might: For why? in his most holy Name we hope and much delight. 22 Therefore let thy goodnesse O Lord, still present with us be: As we alwaies with one accord. do only trust in thee.

Benedicam Dom.

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #16a (1640) First Line: I will give laud and honour both Lyrics: 1 I will give laud and honour both unto the Lord alwaies: And eke my mouth for evermore shall speake unto his praise. 2 I do delight to laud the Lord, in soule and eke in voice, That humble men and mortifi'd may heare and to rejoyce. 3 Therefore see that ye magnifie with me the living Lord: And let us now exalt his Name together with one accord. 4 For I my selfe besought the Lord, he answered me againe, And me deliver'd incontinent, From all my feare and paine. 5 Who so they be that him behold, shall see his light most cleare, Their coantenance shall not be dasht, they need it not to feare. 6 This silly wretch for some reliefe unto the Lord did call: Who did him heare without delay, and rid him out of thrall. 7 The Angell of the Lord doth pitch his tents in every place: To save all such as feare the Lord, that nothing them deface. 8 Taste, and consider well therefore, that God is good and just: O happy man that maketh him his only stay and trust. 9 Feare ye the Lord ye holy ones, above all earthly thing: For they that feare the living Lord, are sure to lack nothing. 10 The Lions shall be hunger-bit, and pin'd with famine much: But as for them that feare the Lord, no lack shall be to such. The second Part. 11 Come neare therefore my children deare and to my words give eare: I shall ye teach the perfect way, how ye the Lord shall feare. 12 Who is the man that would live long and lead a blessed life? 13 See thou refraine thy tongue and lips from all deceit and strife. 14 Turn back thy face from doing ill, and do the godly deed: Inquire for peace and quietnesse, and follow it with speed. 15 For why? the eyes of God above, upon the just are bent: His eares likewise to heare the plaint of the poore innocent. 16 But he doth frown and bend his browes upon the wicked traine: And cuts away the memory that should of them remaine. 17 But when the just do call and cry, the Lord doth heare them so, That out of paine and misery forthwith he lets them go. 18 The Lord is kind and stright at hand to such as be contrite He saves also the sorrowfull, the poore and meeke in spirite. 19 Full many be the miseries, that righteous men do suffer: But out of all adversities the Lord doth tjee deliver. 20 The Lord doth so preserve and keep their very bones alway: That not so much as one of them doth perish or decay. 21 The sin shall slay the wicked man, which he himselfe hath wrought: And such as hate the righteous man shall soone be brought to nought. 22 But they that feare the living Lord the Lord doth save them sound: And who that put their trust in him, nothing shall them confound.

Judica me Dom.

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #16b (1640) First Line: Lord plead my cause against my foes Lyrics: 1 Lord plead my cause against my foes, confound their force and might: Fight on my part against all those that seek with me to fight. 2 Lay hand upon the speare and shield, thy selfe in armour dresse: Stand up with me to fight the field, to help me from distresse. 3 Gird on thy sword, and stop the way, mine enemies to withstand: That thou unto my soule maist say, lo I thy help at hand. 4 Confound them with rebuke and blame, that seek my soule to spill: Let them turn back and flie with shame, that think to work me ill. 5 Let them disperse and flie abroad, as wind doth drive the dust: And that the Angell of our God their might away may thrust. 6 Let all their waies be void of light, and slippery, like to fall: And send thine Angell with thy might to persecute them all 7 For why? without my fault have they in secret set their grin: And for no cause have dig'd a cave to take my soul therein 8 When they think least and have no care, O Lord, destroy them all: Let them be trapt in their own snare, and in their mischiefe fall. 9 And let my soule with heart, and voice in God have joy and wealth: That in the Lord I may rejoyce, and in his saving health. 10 And then my bones shall speak and say, my parts shall all agree: O Lord though they do seem full gay, what one is like to thee? The second Part: 11 Thou dost defend the weak from them that are both stout and strong And rid the poore from wicked men, that spoile and do them wrong 12 My cruell foes against me rise, to witnesse things untrue, And to accuse me they devise, of things I never knew. 13 Where I to them did show good will, they quit me with disdaine: That they should pay my good with ill, my soule doth sore complaine. 14 When they were sick I mourn'd therefore, and clad my selfe in sack: With fasting I did faint full sore, to pray I was not slack. 15 As they had been my brethren deare, I did my selfe behave: As one that maketh wofull cheare about his mother's grave 16 But they in my disease did joy, did gather on a rout: Yea abject slaves at me did toy, with mocks and checks full stout. 17 The belly-gods and flattering traine that all good things deride: At me do grin with great disdaine, and pluck their mouthes aside 18 Lord, why wilt thou so long forbeare, why dost thou stay and pause? O rid my soule, mine onely deare, out of these Lions clawes 19 And when will I give thanks to thee, before the Church alwaies; And where most of the people be, there will I show thy praise. 20 Let not my foes prevaile on me, which hate me for no fault: Nor let them wink or turne their eyes, that causelesse me assault. The third Part: 21 Of peace no word they think or say, their talke is all untrue: They still consult how to betray all those that peace ensue. 22 With open mouth they run at me, they gape, they laught, they fieore: Well, well, say they, our eye doth see the thing that we desire. 23 But Lord, thou seest what waoes they take, cease not my griefs to mend: Be not farre off nor me forsake, as men that faile their friend. 24 Awake, arise, and stir abroad, defend me in my right: Revenge my cause, my Lord, my God, and aid me with thy might. 25 According to my righteousnesse, my Lord God set me free: And let them not their price expresse, nor triumph over me. 26 Let not their hearts rejoyce and cry, there, there, all goeth trim: Nor give them cause to say on high we have our will on him. 27 Confound them with rebuke & shame that joy when I do mourn: And pay them home with spite & blame, that brag at me with scorn. 28 Let them be glad and eke rejoyce, which love mine upright way: And they all times with heart and voice, shall praise the Lord, and say, 29 Great is the Lord, and doth excell for why, he doth delight To see his servants prosper well, that is his pleasant sight 30 Wherefore my tongue I will apply, thy righteousnesse to praise: Unto the Lord my God will I sing laud and thanks alwaies. Scripture: Psalm 35 Languages: English

Dixit injustus

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #17 (1640) First Line: The wicked with his works unjust Lyrics: 1 The wicked with his works unjust, doth thus perswade his heart: That of the Lord he hath no trust his feare is set apart. 2 Yet doth he joy in his estate, to walk as he began: So long till he deserve the hate of God and eke of man. 3 His words are wicked, vile, and naught, his tongue no truth doth tell: Yet at no hand will he be taught which way he may do well. 4 When he should sleep, then doth he muse his mischiefs to fulfill: No wicked waies doth he refuse, nor nothing that is ill. 5 But Lord thy goodnesse doth ascend above the heavens hie, So doth thy truth it selfe extend unto the cloudie skir. 6 Much more than hils both high and steep, thy justice is exprest: Thy judgments like the seas most deep, thou sav'st both man and beast. 7 Thy mercy is above all things, O God, it doth excell: In trust whereof as in thy wings, the sonnes of men shall dwell. 8 Within thy house they shall be fed, with plenty at their will: Of all delights they shall be sped, and take thereof their fill. 9 For why? the well of life so pure doth ever flow from thee: And in thy light we are full sure the lasting light to see. 10 From such as thee desire to know let not thy grace depart: Thy righteousnesse declare and shew to men of upright heart. 11 Let not the proud on me prevaile, O Lord, of thy good grace: Nor let the wicked me assaile, to throw me out of place. 12 But they in their device shall fall, that wicked works maintaine: They shall be overthrown withall, and never rise againe. Scripture: Psalm 36 Languages: English
