1 AL England now bee glad at ones , With one heart mynde and voyce : For now haue wee the greatest cause To sing and eke reioyce . 2 For God hath brought his seruaunts trew From troubles sore and great , Put downe the proude , & hathe the meeke In theyr iust places set . 3 The Lord hathe turnd his wrath and ire , From vs , out of hys mynde : Beeholding vs with countenaunce Moast louing sweete and kynde . 4 ☞ That God which might haue rightwisely , Destroyde vs euery one , Hathe shewd him self moast mercyful , To healp vs al alone . 5 ☞ He hathe regarded equitie , Treuth , iustice , law , and right : And ouerthrowne and vanquisshed The wrongful dealers might . 6 Wee looked al for pestilence And vengeaunce at his hand , And eke innumerable plagues To come vpon the land : 7 But nowe hathe hee sent downe his grace And mercy from aboue , And shewed vs vndoubtedly A token of his loue . 8 Wee haue ful iustly looked heeare For death and ruines rife . And now doo wee beehold and trust A good and ioyful lyfe . 9 Yea , wee that weare moast sorowful , Without a spreet or heart : Within a quarter of an houre Did quicken and reuert . 10 Wee which weare brought by seruitude , Vntrewth and wronge tobey : Do trewth and iustice execute , And put that wrong away . 11 Wee for our owne great variaunce Did forayne straungers feare , Lest they throughe oure discension heare Might rule among vs beare : 12 But now wee shal with vnytie Bee able to withstand , And vanquish al our enemies , And driue such from oure land . 13 Oure kyngdome which deuyded so Could neuer long abyde : shall now in vnitie bee kept , And treason bee espide . 14 And wee that onely looked for Gods vengeaunce to vs bent : Haue now his greatest benefyte Whiche hee to vs hathe sent . 15 Hee doothe beehold vs meryli , And wil continew styl , Yf wee as seruauntes to his trewth , Obey vnto his wyl . 16 Hee saw that wickednesse arose , And bare his trewth despite : And now wil hee out of the land Destroy the workers quite . 17 When tyme that none durst speake for trewth , Then hee him selfe , so good Hathe stepped foorth , and opend al , Tauenge the gyltlesse bloude . 18 He setteth and establyssheth His seruauntes in their right : And ouerthrowes the wicked sort , For al theyr strength and might . 19 It is not armoure , harneyse bright , Nor any weapon strong , The strength that to the handes of men , Or hoorses dothe belong : 02 Nor any power on the earth That can preuayle or stand , But onely God the Lord him self Wil haue the vpperhand . 21 What can a fortresse , castel strong , Or bulwarke els preuayle : Against the Lorde that maketh al ? In neede theese thinges wyl fayle . 22 The lord beeholdes the hearts and myndes Of godly men ful playne , Whiche onely seeke that ryghtwysenesse And equitie may raygne . 23 How wondersly doothe God with vs His people England deale ? Suche ioy as wee scarce looked for Among vs to reueale . 24 Hee healps the captiues out of prison , Breakes the walles of stone : And riddes his chosen from the death , And peryls euery one . 25 Oure comfort is come neare , and eke Oure prayer heard , I trust : Of God which in the heauen dwelles , And fyghteth for the iust . 26 For hee hathe set and stablysshed , Oure worthy soueraygne : And oure liege Lady , Marie Queene , On vs by trewth to raygne . 27 Hee hathe vs sent a comforter , To bee oure healp and guyde : With pitie and with vertues al Endewd on euery syde . 28 The lawful , iust , and rightuouse , Of England , head , and Queene : To bee the true enheritoure , As hathe her brother beene . 29 Not clayming by collusion , Nor cloking it by sleyght : But by her byrth , descending from Her godly father streight . 30 She beeing eldest sister right Vnto oure soueraigne Lord , Kynge Edward late the syxt by name , Whose strength was gods trew word . 31 For which moast godly impe & bud Of Iessees stocke and roote , Thoughe wee haue almoost cause to sighe , And sorow bee oure boote : ●● ●Yet are wee comforted agayne , Lyft vp , and eke erect : ●ycause the Lord hathe placed thus His chosen and elect . ●● Whiche beeing oure moast godly Queene , That seekes our preseruacion : No doubt wil strongly buyld vpon Her brothers good fondacion . 34 The ground worke hee hathe layde him selfe , And shee is left alon , To buyld the house , and fortresse vp Of trew religion . 35 O England now continew styl , In myrth and ioy therfore : For God wyl strengthen day by day Your gladnesse more and more . 36 Our soueraygne & rightioyse Queene Wyl vyce and syn depresse : Wyl cheafly loue the churche of God , And punysh wickednesse . 37 The Lord almighty graunte that shee May prospere to succeede : To haue on vs moast quiet raygne , And healp her in her neede . 38 The Lorde destroy her enemyes , And make her foes bewrayde : To bee soone catched in the snare , That they for her haue layde . 39 Defend her , Lord , and eke al those , That beare to her good heart : And graunte that from thy holy word , She neuer swarue ne start . 40 Then doubtlesse al , bothe old & yong Shal prayse thy name for euer : And sing in Psalmes to thee on earth , Which doost forsake vs neuer . 41 Lord saue our Queene moast graciouse From euel and from feare : The Lady eke Elizabeth , Her godly sister deare . 42 Lord God preserue the noble men , From daungers il and crime : And send vs peace and quietnesse , In this same later tyme . 43 Al glory bee to God therfore , The father and the sone : And also to the holy ghost , In deitye but one . 44 As it hathe been from al beginninges Vnto this beefore : As now it is , and from this tyme , Shal bee for euermore .
