An Exhortation, to Be Song before Euening PrayerCXV. T. B.
B
The Lord’s seruants faithfull and true;
Come, prayse the Lord, euery degree,
With such songs as to him are due.
Euen in our owne God’s mansion,
Praise ye the Lord so bounteous,
Which worketh our saluation.
Yea, and that in the time of night;
Praise ye the Lord which giueth all grace,
For he is a Lord of great might.
Which made heauen and earth by his power,
Giue to you and your nation
His blessing, mercy, and fauour.
