And may we that the only Son vouchsafe his Spirit to send To all that do professe his Name, unto the world's last end. Languages: English Tune Title: [Come Holy Ghost eternal God]

The humble suit of a sinner

Hymnal: WBPF1640 #F2 (1640) First Line: O Lord on whom I do depend Lyrics: O Lord on whom I do depend, behold my carefull heart: And when thy will and pleasure is, release me of my smart. Thou seest my sorrowes what they are, my griefe is know to thee: And there is none that can remove, or take the same from me. But onely thou whose aid I creve whose mercy still is prest, To ease all those that come to thee, for succour and for rest. And sith thou seest my restless eyes, my teares and grievous grone Attend unto my suit O Lord, mark well my plainte and mone. For sin hath so inclosed me, and compast me about: That I am now remediless, if mercy help not out. For mortall man cannot release, or mitigate this paine: But even thy Christ, my Lord and God, who for my sins was slaine. Whose bloody wounds are yet to see, though not with mortall eye, Yet do thy Saints behold them all, and so I trust shall I. Thought sin doth hinder me a while, when thou shalt see it good, I shall enjoy the sight of him, and see his wounds and blood. And as thine Angels and thy Saints do now behold the same, So trust I to possesse that place, with them to praise thy Name, But whilst I live here in this vale, where sinners do frequent Assist me ever with thy grace, my sins still to lament. Lest that I tread the sinners trace, and give them my consent, To dwell with thim in wickedness, whereto nature is bent. Onely thy grace must be my stay, lest that I fall down flat And being down, then of my selfe cannot recover that. Wherefore this is yet once againe my suit and my request To grant me pardon for my sin, that I in thee may rest. Then shall my heart and tongue also be instruments of praise: And in thy Church and hose of Saints sing Psalmes to thee alwaies. Languages: English Tune Title: [O Lord on whom I do depend]

Venite exultemus

Hymnal: WBPF1640 #F3 (1640) First Line: O come and let us now rejoyce Lyrics: O come and let us now rejoyce, And sing unto the Lord; And to our onely Saviour, Also with one accord. O let us come before his face, With inward reverence, Confessing all our former sins, And that with diligence. To thank him for his benefits, Alwais distributing; Wherefore to him right joyfully In Psalmes now let us sing. And that because that God alone Is Lord magnificent, And else above all other gods, A King omnipotent. His people doth not he forsake At any time or tide; And in his hands are all the casts Of all the world so wide. And with his loving countenance He looketh every where; And doth behold the tops of all The mauntaines farre and neare. The sea and all that is therein, Are his, for he them made: And else his hand hath fashioned The earth which doth not fade. O come therefore and worship him, And down before him fall: And let us kneele before the Lord, The which hath made us all. He is our God, our Lord and King And we his people are: His flock, and sheep of his pasture, Of whom he taketh care. This day if ye will heare his voice, Then harden not your heart: As in the bitter murmuring, When ye were in desert. Which thing was of their ngeligence, Committed in the time Of trouble in the wildernesse, A great and grievous crime. Whereas your fathers tempted me, And tr'd me every way: They proved me and saw my works, What I could do or say. These forty years I have been griev'd With this generation: And evermore I said they er'd In their imagination, Wherewith their hearts were sore cumbred Long time and many daies: Wherefore I said assuredly, They have not known my waies. To whom I in mine anger swore, That they should not be blest, Nor see my joy celestiall, Nor enter in my rest. Gloria Patri: All laud and praise be to the Lord, O that of might art most: To God the Father and the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, As it in the beginning was, for ever heretofore: And is now at this present time, and shall be evermore.

For through his visitation, And mercy kept in sotre, His people now he hath redeeme'd, That long have been in thrall And spread abroad his saving health, Upon his servants all.

The mercy which he promised Our Fathers to fulfill, And think upon his covenant made, According to his will.

For thou shalt go before his face For to prepare his waies, And also for to teach his will, And pleasure all thy daies. To give them knowledge how that their Salvation is neare. And that remission of their sins Is through his mercy meere. Whereby the day-spring from on high, Is come us for to visit; And those for to illuminate, Which do in darkness sit, To lighten those that shadowed be With death and eke opprest; And also for to guide our feet the way to peace and rest.

The Symbole or Creed of Athanasius called Quicungue vult

Hymnal: WBPF1640 #F9 (1640) First Line: What man soever he be that Lyrics: What man soever he be that salvation will attaine: The Catholike beliefe he must before all things retaine. Which faith unlesse he holy keep, and undifiledly; without all doubt eternally he shall be sure to die. The Catholike beliefe is this, that God we worship one In Trinity; and Trinity in Unity alone, So as we neither do confound nor mixe the persons three; Nor yet the substance whole of one in sunder parted be. One person of the Father is, another of the Son: Another person proper of the Holy Ghost alone. Of Father Son and Holy Ghostt but one the God-head is, Like glory coeternall eke the Majesty likewise. Such as the Father is such is the Son to each degree; And such also we do believe the Holy Ghost to be; Uncreate is the Father and uncreate is the Son; The Holy Ghost uncreate, so uncreate is each one. Incomprehensible Father is, incomprehensible Son; And comprehensible also is the Holy Ghost of none. The Father is eternall and the Son eternall so; And in like sort eternall is the Holy Ghost also. And yet though we believe that each of these eternall be Yet there but one Eternall is, and not eternals three. As be incomprehensible we, be yet uncreate three; But one incomprehnsible one uncreate hold to be: Almighty so the Father is, the Son almighty so; And in like sort almighty is the Holy Ghost also. And albeit that every one of these almighty be; Yet there but one almighty is; and not almighties three. The Father God is, God the Son, God Holy Ghost also, Yet are there not three Gods in all, but one God and no mo So likewise Lord the Father is, and Lord also the Son; And Lord the Holy Ghost, yet are there not three Lords, but one. For as we are compel'd to grant by Christian verity, Each of the persons by himselfe both God and Lord to be. So Catholik Religion forbiddeth us alway, That either God's be three, or that three Lords be there to say. Of none the Father is, ne made, ne create nor begot. The Son is of the Father, not create, ne made, but got, The Holy Ghost if os them both, the Father and the Sonne; Ne made, ne create nor begot, but doth proceed alone. So we one Father hold, not three; one Sonne also, not three: One Holy Ghost alone, and not three Holy Ghosts to be, None of this Trinity before nor after other is: Ne greater any than the rest; ne lesser be likewise. But every one among themselves of all the Persons three, Together coeternall all and all coequall be. So Unity in Trinity, as said it is before: And Trinity in Unity, in all things we adore. Therefore what man soever that salvation will attaine This faith touching the Trinity, of force he must retaine. And needfull to eternall life it is that every wight Of the incarnating of Christ our Lord believer aright. For this the right faith is, that we believe and eke do know, That Christ our Lord the Sonne of God, is God and man also. God of his Fathers substance got before the world began; And of his mother substance born, in world a very man. Both perfect God and perfect man, in one, one Jesus Christ, That doth of reasonable soule, and humane flesh subsist. Touching his God-head equall with his Father God is he: Touching his Man-hood, lower than his Father in degree. Who though he be both very God, and very man also; Yet is he but one Christ alone, and is not persons two. One, not by turning of God-head into the flesh of man; But by taking man-hood to God, this being one began. All one, not by confounding of the substance into one; But onely by the unity that is of one person. For as the reasonable soule and flesh but one man is, So in one person God and Man is but one Christ likewise. Who suffered for to save us all, to hell he did descend; The third day rose againe from death, to heaven he did ascend. He sits at the right hand of God, th'Almighty Father ther; From thence to judge the quick & dead, againe he shall appeare. At whose return all men shall rise with bodies new restor'd; And of their own works they shall give account unto the Lord. And they into eternall life shall go that have done well, Who have done ill, shall go into eternall fire to dwell. This is the Catholike beliefe, who doth not faithfully Believe the same, without all doubt he saved cannot be. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost all glory be therefore: As in the beginning was is now, and shall be evermore. he Languages: English Tune Title: [What man soever he be that]

The Lamentation of a sinner

Hymnal: WBPF1640 #F10 (1640) First Line: O Lord turn not away thy face Lyrics: O Lord turn not away thy face From him that lies prostrate: Lamenting sore his sinfull life, Before thy mercy gate: Which gate thou openest wide to those, That do lament their sin: Shut not that gate against me Lord, but let me enter in. And call me not to mine account, How I have lived here: For then I know right well O Lord, How vile I shall appear. I need not to confesse my life, I am sure thou canst tell, What I have been and what I am, I know thou know'st it well. O Lord thou know'st what things be past, And eke the things that be: Thou know'st also what is to come, Nothing is hid from thee. Before the heavens and earth were made, Thou know'st what things were then: As all things else that have beene since, Among the sonnes of men. And can the things that I have done, Be hidden from thee then? Nay nay, thou know'st them all O Lord, Were they wer done and when, Wherefore with teares I come to thee, To beg and to intreat: Even as the child that hath done ill, And feareth to be beate. So come I to thy mercy gate, Where mercy doth abound: Requiring mercy for my sin, To heale my deadly wound. O Lord I need not to repeat, What I do beg or crave: Thou know'st (O Lord) before I ask, The thing that I would have. Mercy good Lord, mercy I ask, This is the totall summe, For mercy Lord is all my suit, Lord let thy mercy come. Languages: English Tune Title: [O Lord turn not away thy face]
