CXI. Robert Wisdom

Qui confidunt.

THOSE that doe put their confidence

Vpon the Lord our God onely,

And fly to him for his defence

In all their neede and misery,

Their faith is sure firme to endure,

Grounded on Christ the corner-stone;

Moued with none ill, but standeth still,

Stedfast like to the mount Sion.

And as about Jerusalem

The mighty hils do it compasse,

So that no enemy commeth to them,

To hurt that towne in any case;

So God in deed in euery need

His faithfull people doth defend,

Standing them by assuredly,

From this time forth world without end.

Right wise and good is our Lord God,

And will not suffer certeinely

The sinner’s and vngodlye’s rod

To tary vpon his family;

Least they also from God should go,

Falling to sin and wickednesse:

O Lord, defend, world without end,

Thy christian flocke through thy goodnes.

O Lord, do good to Christians all,

That stedfast in thy word abide

Such as willingly from God fall,

And to false doctrine daily slide,

Such will the Lord scatter abroad,

With hipocrites throwne downe to hell;

God will them send paines without end:

But, Lord, graunt peace to Israël.

Glory to God the Father of might,

And to the Sonne our Sauiour,

And to the Holy Ghost, whose light

Shine in our harts and vs succour;

That the right way, from day to day,

We may walke and him glorifie:

With hart’s desire all that are here

Worship the Lord, and say Amen.
