The which were since the world began,
his ways for to prepare.
That we might be delivered
from those that make debate,
Our enemies, and from the hands
of all that do us hate.
The mercy which he promised
our fathers to fulfill:
And think upon his cov'nant made,
according to his will.

Whom thou hast mercifully set,
of thine abundant grace,
In open sight, and visible,
before all peoples face.
The Gentiles to illuminate,
and Satan overquell:
Also to be the glory of
thy people Israel.

[...]
[...]Wch gate thou open'st 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 strict account
how I have lived here:
For then I know right well, O Lord,
how vile I shall appear.
I need not to confess 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,
also the things that be:
Thou know'st also what is to come,
nothing is hid from thee.
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
all glory be therefore:
As in beginning was, is now,
and shall be evermore.

But, O! can all our store afford
no better gifts for thee?
Thus we confess thy riches, Lord,
and thus our poverty.
'Tis not our tongue or knee can pay
the mighty debt we owe:
Far more we should than we can say,
far lower than we bow.
Come then, my soul, bring all thy pow'rs,

Bring ev'ry day thy choicest hours,
and thy great GOD adore.
