Chorus FRom depth of heart , mou'd by desart , wee Orphants meane and poore , To Christ our King doe praises sing , for plenty and for store .

GReat and most gracious is the Lord , to all that he hath made , The poore distrest by him are blest , each state by him is stai'd : Yea God which rules the hearts of Kings , a godly King did moue , To worke our weale , our griefes to heale , and Patrone deare to proue , Whose prudent care , did soone appeare the ground-worke of our loy , in thee ( O Cittie of the Lord ) to shield vs from annoy .

From depth of heart , &c.

O London , blessed maist thou be , with plentie , peace , and rest , A Staffe thou art to impotent , a Prop to poore opprest .

And as your bread , thus bounteously , you on these waters cast , The Lord grant you may find the same , an hundred fold at last . Chorus , From depth , &c. Powre downe thy blessings on our King , prolong his peacefull Raigne , And grant his Subiects loyall proue , thy peace for to maintaine . Our Noble Queene with grace iinspire , the Councell graue instruct , The Peeres and Nobles of this Land with pietie conduct . Elesse ( Lord ) the Maior , and Aldermen , and Commons of this Citie , For their great care of our welfare , and moue them still to pittie . Chorus , From depth , &c.
