Who by his all-commanding might

Did fill the new-made world with light.

For his &c.

25

And caus'd the golden-treffed sun,

All the day long his course to run.

30

For his &c.

He brought from thence his Ifrael.

The horned moon to shine by night,
Amongst her spangled fisters bright.

For his &c.

He with his thunder-clasping hand
Smote the first-born of Egypt land.

For his &c.

And in despite of Pharao fell,

For his &c.

The ruddy waves he cleft in twain

45

Of the Erythræan main.

For his &c.

The floods flood still like walls of glass,

While the Hebrew bands did pass.

For his &c.

But full foon they did devour

The tawny king with all his power.

For his &c.

His chosen people he did bless

In the wafteful wilderness.

For his &c.

In

In bloody battel he brought down
Kings of prowess and renown.

For his &c.

He foil'd bold Seon and his host,
That rul'd the Amorrean coast.

For his &c.

And large-limb'd Og he did fubdue,
With all his over-hardy crew.

For his &c.

And to his fervant Ifrael

He gave their land therein to dwell.

For his &c.

He hath with a piteous eye

Beheld us in our misery.

For his &c.

And freed us from the slavery

Of the invading enemy.

For his &c.

All living creatures he doth feed,

And with full hand supplies their need.

For his &c.

Let us therefore warble forth

His mighty majesty and worth.

For his &c.

That his manfion hath on high
Above the reach of mortal eye.
For his mercies ay indure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
