Worth
:
To
thee
we
'l
sing
,
Our
God
and
King
,
And
praises
warble
forth
.
Verse
.
WHAT
flouds
of
sorrow
once
indeed
Poor
Orphans
did
surround
,
Which
made
our
hearts
to
ake
and
bleed
,
And
caus'd
a
discord
sound
?
Like
Shipwreck'd
Marriners
were
we
,
Being
gravel'd
on
the
shelves
Of
need
and
pinching
po-ver-ty
;
But
could
not
help
our selves
.
Then
did
our
God
himself
alone
Stretch
forth
his
liberal
hand
,
And
us
poor
Orphans
did
bemoan
,
And
brought
us
safe
to
land
.
Chorus
.
O
Blessed
Lord
,
&c.
2.
The
Scene
is
alter'd
quite
,
and
now
,
Our
Night
of
fears
is
past
,
Our
Clouds
dispelled
are
:
see
how
The
Sun
appears
at
last
.
We
weep
this
day
for
joy
,
that
we
In
London's
Hemisphear
Such
Bright
and
Glorious
Starrs
may
see
On
this
day
to
appear
;
Whose
influence
revives
the
Heart
Of
them
that
are
brought
low
By
pining
Famine
,
and
the
smart
Of
penury
and
woe
.
Chorus
.
O
Blessed
Lo●d
,
&c.
3.
Long
may
our
Patrons
live
,
and
be
Preserv'd
from
Envie
's
frown
;
When
summon'd
hence
,
Posterity
Their
lasting
Name
shall
crown
.
Heav'n
bless
our
Royal
King
and
Queen
,
The
Council
,
Church
and
State
,
Enrich
them
all
with
joys
unseen
,
And
keep
off
Envious
Fate
.
Lord
Mayor
and
Senate
,
Lord
,
protect
;
Our
Cities
Store
encrease
;
Remove
all
jarrs
and
plots
detect
,
That
we
may
live
in
Peace
.
Chorus
.

Blessed
Lord

Verse

1.
THou
,
Lord
,
dost
reign
,
and
still
maintain
The
world
by
glorious
might
:
Thy
dreadful
name
we
will
proclaim
In
all
Blasphemers
sight
.
Verse
.
IF
foul-mouth'd
Atheists
should
deny
,
There
sits
in
heav'n
above
A
God
,
whose
Glorious
De-i-ty
All
things
below
doth
move
;
Then
we
poor
Orphans
will
alone
Their
lies
make
to
retreat
,
To
whom
th'
Almightie's
care
is
shewn
,
And
mercy
wond'rous
great
.
Our
Number
shall
their
Blasphemies
Most
plainly
here
confute
,
Who
boldly
dare
by
Hellish
Lies
Against
our
God
dispute
.
Chorus
.
Thou
,
Lord
,
&c.
2.
O
Blessed
Lord
,
't
is
thou
indeed
,
That
rul'st
all
things
below
;
'T
is
thou
alone
the
Poor
dost
feed
,
Oppress'd
by
pinching
woe
.
And
you
,
Grave
Senators
,
likewise
Our
Dolefull
state
supply
;
You
healed
have
our
Miseries
By
your
Benignity
.
We
'l
change
our
mournful
Dirges
then
To
Songs
and
Praises
meet
:
The
noble
Acts
of
Famous
men
We
'l
study
to
repeat
.
Chorus
.
Thou
,
Lord
,
&c.
3.
Our
Royal
Edward
first
did
frame
The
model
of
our
Weal
,
And
Pious
men
uphold
the
same
,
That
it
shall
never
reel
.
The
Lord
stir
up
the
hearts
of
more
,
That
may
with
libr'al
mind
Diffuse
their
Bounty
and
their
Store
,
And
to
the
Poor
be
kind
.
Our
King
,
our
Queen
and
Royal
Race
Heav'n
keep
and
still
defend
;
To
City
,
Senate
,
grant
thy
Grace
,
And
joy
that
ne're
may
end
.

Thou
,
Lord

THe
Hospital
of
Bethlehem
is
of
great
Antiquity
,
use
and
necessity
,
for
keeping
and
curing
distracted
persons
,
who
are
of
all
other
most
miserable
,
by
reason
of
their
wants
both
for
Soul
and
Body
,
and
have
no
sense
thereof
.
|
There
having
been
brought
into

of
one
whole

|
There

very
great
,
as
well
in
respect
of
their
Physick
,
Diet
,
Cloathing
,
and
other
Relief
,
as
also
the
great
charge
of

,
they
being
most
unruly
and
not
able
to
help
themselves
,
and
the
Rents
and
Revenues
of
the
said
Hospital
being
very
small
,
not
amounting
to
two
third
parts
of
the
yearly
Charge
thereof
;
therefore
this
Hospital
is
a
very
fit
object
of
all
good
mens
Charity
,
to
be
extended
,
as
God
shall
enable
them
,
towards
their
relief
,
there
having
been
,
and
daily
are
,
by
the
blessing
of
God

the
Charge
of
the

,
and
the
care
of
those
that
are
intrusted
with
the
said
distracted
people
,
divers
reduced

their
former
senses
