Exaltabo te Domine
Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #13c (1640) First Line: All laud and praise with heart and voice Lyrics: 1 All laud and praise with heart and voice
O Lord, I give to thee:
Which didst not make my foes rejoyce,
but hast exalted me.
2 O Lord my God, to thee I cri'd
in all my paine and griefe
Thou gav'st an eare, and didst provide
to ease me with reliefe.
3 Of thy good will thou hast cald back
my soule from hell to save:
Thou didst revie when strength did lack
and kepest me from the grave.
4 Sing praise ye Saints that prove and see
the goodnesse of the Lord:
In memory of his Majesty
rejoyce with one accord.
5 For why? his anger but a space
doth last and slack againe:
But in his favour and his grace
alwaies doth life remaine.
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. Scripture: Psalm 30 Languages: English Tune Title: [All laud and praise with heart and voice]
Exaltabo te Domine
The twelve Articles of the Christian Faith
Hymnal: WBPF1640 #89a (1640) First Line: All my beliefe and confidence Lyrics: All my beliefe and confidence,
is in the Lord of might:
The Father which all things hath made,
the day and eke the night.
The heavens and the firmament,
and also every starre,
The earth and all that is therin,
which passe mans reason farre.
And in like manner I believe
in Christ our Lord his Sonne:
Coequall with the Deitie,
and man in flesh and bone.
Conceived by the Holy Ghost,
his word doth me assure:
And of his mother Mary borne,
ye she a Virgin pure.
Because mankind to Satan was
for sin in bond and thrall:
He came and offered up himselfe
to death to save us all.
And suffering most grievous paine,
then Pilate being Judge:
Was crucified on the Crosse,
and therat did not grudge.
And so he died in the flesh,
but quickned in the sprite:
His body then was buried,
as is our use and right.
His soule did after this descend
into the lower parts:
A dread unto the wicked spirits,
but joy to faithfull hearts.
And in the third day of his death
he rose to life againe:
To th'end he might be glorifi'd,
out of all griefe and paine.
Ascending to the heavens high,
to sit in glory still,
On Gods right hand his Father deare,
according to his will.
Untill the day of judgements come,
when he shall come againe
With Angels power (yet of that day
we all be uncertaine)
To judge all people righteously,
whom he hat dearely bought:
The living and the dead also,
which he hath made of nought.
And in the holy Spirit of God,
(my faith to satisfie)
The third person in Trinity,
believe i stedfastly.
The holy Catholke Church,
that God's Word doth maintaine:
And holy Scripture doth allow
which Satan doth disdaine.
And also I do trust to have
by Jesus Christ his death:
Release and pardon of my sins,
and that only by faith.
What time all flesh shall rise againe
before the Lord of might:
And see him with their bodily eyes,
which now do give them light.
And then shall Christ our Saviour
the sheep and goats divide:
And give life everlastingly,
to those whom he hath tri'd,
Within his Realme celestiall,
in glory for to rest:
With all his holy company
of Saints and Angels blest.
Which serve the Lord omnipotent
obediently each houre:
To whom be all dominion,
and praise for evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: [All my beliefe and confidence]

Audite haec omnes
Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #24c (1640) First Line: All people hearken and give ear Lyrics: 1 All people hearken, and give eare
to that which I shall tell:
2 Both high and low, both rich and poore
that in the world do dwell.
3 For why? my mouth shall make discourse
of many things most wise:
In understanding shall my heart
its study exercise.
4 I will incline mine ear to know
the parable so dark,
And open all my doubtfull speech
in meeter on my harp.
5 Whey should I feare afflictions,
or any carefull toile:
Or else my foes which at my heeles
are prest my life to spoile.
6 For as for such as riches have,
wherein their trust is most:
And they who of their treasures great
themselves do brag and boast
7 There is not one of them that can,
his brother's life redeem:
Or that can give a price to God
sufficient for him.
8 It is too great a price to pay,
none can thereto attaine:
Or that he might his life prolong?
or not in grave remaine.
9 They see wise men as well as fooles,
subject unto deaths bands:
And being dead strangers possesse
their goods, their rents, their lands.
10 Their care is to build houses faire,
and so determine sure,
To make their name right great on earth
for ever to endure.
11 Yet shall no man alwaies enjoy
high honour, wealth, and rest:
12 But shall at length tast deaths cup
as well as the bruit beast.
The second Part.
13 And though they find their foolish thoughts
to be most lewd and vaine:
Their children yet approve their talk,
and in like sin remaine.
14 As sheep into the fold are brought
they shall be laid in grave:
Death shall them eate and in that day,
the just shall Lordship have.
Their image and their royall port
shall fade and quite decay:
When as from house to pit they passe,
with wo and weale away.
15 But God will surely preserve me
from death and endless paine:
Because he will of his good grace,
my soule receive againe.
16 If any man waxe wondrous rich,
feare not I say therefore:
Although the glory of his house
increaseth more and more:
17 For when he dies, of all these things
nothing shall he receive:
His glory will not follow him,
his pomp will take her leave.
18 Yet in this life he counts himselfe
the happiest under Sun:
And others likewise flatter him,
saying all is well done.
19 And presuppose he live as long
as did his fathers old:
Yet must he needs at length give place,
and be brought to deaths fold.
20 Thus man to honour God hath brought
yet doth he not consider:
But like bruit beasts so doth he live
which turn to dust and powder Scripture: Psalm 49 Languages: English

Jubilate Deo
Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #56a (1640) First Line: All people that on earth do dwell Lyrics: 1 All people that on earth do dwell,
sing to the Lord with chearfull voice,
Him serve with feare, his praise forth tell:
come ye before him and rejoyce.
2 The Lord ye know is God indeed,
without our aid he did us make:
We are his flock, he doth us feed,
and for his sheep he doth us take.
3 O enter then his gates with praise,
approach with joy his courts unto:
Praise, laud, and bless his Name alwaies,
for it is seemly so to do.
4 For why the Lord our God is good,
his mercy is for ever sure:
His truth at all times firmly stood,
and shall from age to age endure. Scripture: Psalm 100 Languages: English Tune Title: [All people that on earth do dwell]
Jubilate Deo
Deus stetit
Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #46 (1640) First Line: Amid the presse with men of might Lyrics: 1 Amid the presse with men of might
the Lord himselfe doth stand,
To plead the cause of truth and right,
with judges of the land.
2 How long (said he) will you proceed,
false judgement to award
And have respect for love of meed,
the wicked to regard.
3 Whereas of due you should defend
the fatherlesse and weak:
And when the poore man doth contend,
in judgement justly speak.
4 If ye be wise, defend the cause
of poore men in their right:
And rid the needy from the clawes
of tyrants force and might.
5 But nothing will they know or learne,
in vaine to them I talk:
They will not see, or ought discerne,
but still in darknesse walk.
For lo, even now the time is come,
that all things fall to nought:
And likewise lawes both all and some,
for gaine are sold and bought.
I had decreed it my sight,
as gods to take you all:
And children to the most of might,
for love I did you call.
7 But notwithstanding ye shall die
as men, and so decay:
O tyrants I shall you destroy,
and pluck you quite away.
8 Up, Lord, and let thy strength be known,
and judge the world with might:
For why? all nations are thy own,
to take them as thy right. Scripture: Psalm 82 Languages: English

The X. Commandements of God
Author: W. W. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #87e (1640) First Line: Attend my people and give eare Lyrics: Attend my people ad give eare,
Of setly things I will thee tell:
See that my word in mind thou beare
And to my precepts listen well.
1 I am thy soveraigne Lord and God,
Which have thee brought fro careful thral
And eke reclaim'd from Pharaohs rod,
Make thee no gods on them to call.
2 Nor fashioned some of any things
In heaven or earth to worship in
For I thy God by revenging
With grievous plagues this sin will smite.
3 Take not in vaine his holy Name,
Abuse it not after thy will,
For so thou mightest soone purchase blame
And in his wrath he would thee spill.
4 The Lord from work the seventh day ceast,
And brought all things to perfect end:
So thou and thine that day take rest,
That to Gods hests ye may attend.
5 Unto thy parents honour give,
As Gods commandements do intend:
That hou long daies and good maist live
In earth, where Gods place doth lend.
6 Beware of murder and cruell hate,
7 All filthy fornication feare.
8 See thou steale not in any rate.
9 False witnesse against no man bear.
10 Thy neighbours house with not to have,
His wife, or ought that he cals mine:
His field, his Oxe, his Asse, his slave,
Or any thing which is not thine.
A Prayer:
The Spirit of grace grant us O Lord,
To keep these lawes our hearts restore
And cause us all with one accord,
To magnifie thy Name therefore.
For of our selves no strenght we have
To keep these lawes after thy will:
Thy might therefore O Christ we crave,
That we in thee may them fulfill.
Lord for thy Names sake grant us this,
Thou art our strength, O Saviour Christ:
Of thee to speed how should we misse,
In whom our treasure doth consist?
To thee for evermore be praise,
With the Father in each respect,
And with the holy Spirit alwaies,
The conforter of thine elect. Scripture: Exodus 20 Languages: English Tune Title: [Attend my people and give eare]
The X. Commandements of God
Attendite populi
Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #42 (1640) First Line: Attend my people to my law Lyrics: 1 Attend my people to my Law,
and to my words incline:
2 My mouth shall speak strange parables,
and sentences divine.
Which we ourselves have heard and learn'd
even of our Fathers old:
And which for our instruction,
our fathers have us told:
4 Because we should not keep it close
from them that should come after
Who should Gods power to their race praise,
and all his works of wonder:
5 To Jacob he commandment gave.
how Israel should live:
Willing our fathers should the same
unto their children give.
6 That they and their posterity,
that were not sprung up tho,
Should have the knowledge of the law,
and teach it their seed also.
7 That they might have the better hope
in God that is above:
And not forget to keep his lawes,
and his precepts in love.
8 Not being as their fathers were,
rebelling in Gods sight
And would not frame their wicked hearts
to know their God aright.
9 How went the people of Ephraim
their neighbours for to spoile:
Shooting their shafts in day of warre,
and yet receiv'd the foile?
10 For why? they did not keep with God
the covenant that was made:
Nor yet would walk or lead their lives
according to his trade.
11 But put into oblivion,
his counsell and his will:
And all his works magnifique,
which he declared still.
The second Part:
12 What wonders to our fore-fathers
did he himselfe disclose:
In Egypt land, within the field,
that call'd is Thaneos?
13 He did divide and cut the sea,
that they might passe at once:
And made the waters stand as still
as doth an heape of stones.
14 He led them secret in a cloud
by day when it was bright:
And in the night when it dark it was,
with fire he gave them light.
15 He brake the rocks in wildernesse,
and gave the people drink:
As plentifull as when the deeps
do flow up to the brink.
16 He drew out rivers out of rocks
that were both drie and hard:
Of such abundance that no floods
to them might be compar'd.
17 Yet for all this against the Lord
their sin they did increase:
And stirred him that is most high,
to wrath in wildernesse.
18 They tempted God within their hearts
like people of mistrust,
Requiring such a kind of meat,
as served to their lust.
19 Saying with murmuration,
in their unfaithfulness:
What? can this God prepare for us
a fest in wildernesse?
20 Behold he strake the stony rocks,
and flouds forthwith did flow:
But call he now give to his folk
both bread and flesh also?
21 When God heard this, he waxed worth
with Jacob and his seed:
So did his indignation
on Israel proceed.
The third Part:
22 Because they did not faithfully
believe, and hope that he
Could alwaies help and succour them
in their necessity.
23 Wherefore he did command the clouds,
forthwith they brake in sunder:
24 And raine' down Manna for them to eate,
a food of mickle wonder.
25 When earthly men with Angels food
were fed at their request:
26 He bad the East wind blow away,
and brought in the South-West.
27 He rain'd down flesh as thick as dust,
and fowle as thick as sand:
28 Which he did cast amid the place
where all their tents did stand.
29 Then did they eat exceedingly,
and all men had their fils:
Yet more and more they did desire
to serve their lusts and wils.
30 But as the meat was in their mouthes
his wrath upon them fell:
31 And slew the flower of all their youth,
and choice of Israel.
32 Yet fell they to their wonted sin,
and still they did him grieve:
For all the wonders that he wrought,
they would him not believe.
33 Their daies therefore he shortened.
and made their honour vaine:
Their years did wast and passe away,
with terror and with paine.
34 But ever when he plagued them,
they sought by and by:
35 Remembring that he was their strength,
their help and God most high.
36 Though with their mouths they did but glose,
but flatter with the Lord:
And with their tongues & in their hearts
dissembled every word.
The fourth Part.
37 For why their hearts were nothing bent,
to him nor to his trade:
Nor yet to keep or to performe
the covenant that was made.
38 Yet was he still so mercifull,
when they deserv'd to die:
That he forgave them atheir misdeeds,
and would not them destroy.
Yea many a time he tam'd his wrath,
and did himselfe advise:
And would not suffer all his whole
displeasure to arise.
39 Considering that they were but flesh,
and even as a wind,
Passing away, and cannot well
return by his own kind.
40 How oftentimes in wildernesse
did they the Lord provoke?
How did they move and stirre the Lord
to plague them with his stroke?
41 Yet did they turn againe to sin,
and tempted God esticone:
Prescribing to the holy Lord,
what things they would have done.
42 Not thinking of his hand and power
nor of the day when he
Delivered them out of the jamds
of the fierce enemy.
43 Nor how he wrought his miracles
(as they themselves beheld)
In Egypt, and the wonders that
he did in Zoan field.
44 Nor how he turned by his power,
their waters into blood:
That no man might receive his drink
at river nor at floud.
45 Nor how he sent them swarms of flies
which did them sore annoy:
And fil'd their countrey full with frogs,
which did their land destroy.
The fifth Part:
46 Nor how he did commit their fruits
unto the Caterpillar
And of the labour of their hands
he gave to the grashopper.
47 With haile-stones he destroid their vines,
so that they all were lost:
And not so much as wild fig-trees,
but he consum'd with frost.
48 And yet with haile-stones once again
the Lord their cattel smote:
And all their flocks and heards likewise
with thunder-bolts full hot.
49 He cast upon them in his ire,
and in his fury strong,
displeasure, wrath and evil spirits,
to trouble them among.
50 Then to his wrath he made a way,
and spared not the least:
But gave unto the pestilence
the man and eke the beast.
51 He strake also all the first-borne all,
that up in Egypt came:
And all the chiefe of men and beasts
within the tents of Ham.
52 But as for his own deare folk,
he did preserve and keep:
And carried them through wildernesse,
even like a flock of sheep.
53 Without all feare both safe and sound
He brought them out of thrall:
Whereas their foes with rage of seas
were over-whelmeed all.
54 And brought them out into the coasts
of his own holy land:
Even to the Mount which he had got
by his strong arm and hand.
55 And there cast out the heathen folk,
and did their land divide:
And in their tents he set the Tribes
of Israel to abide.
56 Yet for all this their God most high
they stir'd and tempted still:
And would not keep his Testament,
nor yet obey his will.
57 But as their fathers turned back,
even so they went astray:
Much like a bow that would not bend,
but slips and start away.
The sixt Part:
58 And griev'd him with their hill-altars,
with offrings and with fire:
And with their idols vehemently
provoked him to ire.
59 Therewith his wrath begain againe
to kindle in his brest:
The naughtinesse of Israel
he did so much detest.
60 Then he forsook the Tabernacle
of Shilo, where he was
Right conversant with earthly men,
even as his dwelling place.
61 Then suffered he his might and power
in bondage for to stand"
And gave the honour of his Ark
into his enemies hand.
62 And did commit them to the sword,
wroth with his heritage:
63 Their young men were devour'd with fire,
maids had no marriage.
64 And with the sword the Priests also
did perish every one:
And not a widow left alive
their death for to bemoane.
65 And then the Lord began to wake
like one that slept a time:
And like a vailiant man of warre,
refreshed is with wine.
66 With Emrods in the hinder parts
he strake his enemies all:
And put them then into a shame
that was perpetuall.
67 Then he the tent and tabernacle
of Joseph did refuse:
As for the tribe of Ephriam.
he would in no wise chuse.
68 But chose the Tribe of Jehuda,
whereas he thought to dwell,
Even the noble mount Sion,
which he did love so well.
69 Whereas he did his Temple build,
both sumptuously and sure:
Like as the earth which he hath made
for ever to endure.
70 Then chose he David him to serve,
his people for to keep:
Whom he took up and brought away
Even from the folds of sheep.
71 As he did follow th'Ewes with young
the Lord did him advance:
To feed his people Israel,
and his inheritance.
72 Thus David with a faithfull heart
his flock and charge did feed:
And prudently with all his power
Did governe them indeed. Scripture: Psalm 78 Languages: English Tune Title: [Attend my people to my law]
Attendite populi
Deo exultate
Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #45b (1640) First Line: Be light and glad, in God rejoyce Lyrics: 1 Be light and glad, in God rejoyce,
which is our strength and stay:
Be joyfull and lift up your voice,
to Jacob's God, I say.
2 Prepare your instruments most meet
some joyfull Psalme to sing:
Strike up with Harp and Lute so sweet,
on every pleasant string.
3 Blow as it were in the new Moone,
with trumpets of the best:
As it is used to be done,
at any solemne feast.
4 For this is unto Israel,
a statute and a trade"
A law that must be kept full well,
which Jacob's God hath made.
5 This clause with Joseph was decreed,
when he from Egypt came:
That as a witnesse all his seed
should still observe the same.
6 When God.O say, had so prepar'd
to bring him from that land:
Whereas the speech which he had heard
he did not understand.
7 I from his shoulder took (saith he)
the burthen clean away:
And from the furnace quit him free
from burning brick of clay.
8 When thou in grief didst cry and call,
I holp thee by and by:
And I did answer thee withall,
in thunder secretly.
9 Yea, at the waters of discord,
I did thee tempt and prove:
Whereas the goodnesse of the Lord
with muttering thou didst move.
10 Heare O my folk, O Israel,
and I assure it thee.
Regard and marke my words full well,
if thou wilt cleave to me.
The second Part:
11 Thou shalt no god in thee reserve,
of any land abroad
And in no wise bow to or serve
a strange and foreign god.
12 I am the Lord thy God, and I
from Egypt set thee free:
Then ask of me abundantly,
and I will give it thee.
13 And yet my people would not heare
my voice when that I spake:
And Israel would not obey,
but did me quite forsake.
14 Then did I leave them to their will,
in hardnesse of their heart:
To walk in their own counsels still,
themselves they did pervert.
15 O that my people would have heard
the words that I did say:
And eke that Israel would regard
to walk within my way.
16 How soon would I confound their foes
and bring them down full low:
And turn my hand upon all those
that would them overthrow.
17 And they that at the Lord did rage,
as slaves should seek him till:
But of his folk their time and age,
should flourish ever still.
18 I would have fed them with the crop,
and finest of the wheat:
And made the rock with honey drop,
that they their fils should eat.

Voce mea
Author: N. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #83c (1640) First Line: Before the Lord God with my voice Lyrics: 1 Before the Lord God with my voice
I did send out my cry:
And with my strained voice unto
the Lord God prayed I.
2 My meditation in his sight
to powre I did not spare:
And in the presence of the Lord
my trouble did declare.
3 Although perplexed was my spirit,
my path was known to thee:
In way where I did walke a snare
they slily laid for me.
4 I look'd and view'd on my right hand,
but none there would me know:
All refuge failed me and for
my soule none care did show.
5 Then cry'd I Lord to thee, and said,
my hope thou only art:
Thou in the land of living art
my portion and my part.
6 Hearke to my cry, for I am brought
full low: deliver me
From them that do me persecute,
for me too strong they be.
7 That I may praise thy Name, my soule
from prison, Lord bring out:
When thou art good to me, the just
shall press me round about.
