A Spirituall Song, Conteining “A Glorying of God, etc.”

CXXXII. Abraham Fleming

ALL glorie vnto God,

The guider of the iust:

Blest be his name in heauen and earth,

Whereto the righteous trust

Repaire his tempels to,

Him worship and adore;

Alleluiah sing and say

To him for euermore.

He is the God of grace,

Whose kingdome knowes none end;

A mightie God, from all annoies

That can his flock defend.

Most mercifull is he

To such as do repent,

Forgiuing them which for their sins

Are sorie and lament.

Laud we his holy name,

As dutie doth command;

Each tongue sound out his majesty;

Adore him, sea and land.

My heart, my tongue and voice

Shall play the organ pipes

In praysing him, out of the skore

Our desperate debts which wipes.

No time will I let slip,

If God do giue me grace,

Great thanks to render to his name,

Which filleth every place.
