| | | SING, let vs sing with one accord, | |
| Hallelviah on hie, | |
| With euery elder that doth bow, | |
| Before the Lambe, his knee: | |
| Sing foure and twentie all with vs, | 5 |
| While heauen and earth resound, | |
| Replenish’d with Jehoua’s praise, | |
| Whose like cannot be found. | |
| For he it is that is and was | |
| And euermore shall be, | 10 |
| Our only One vnseparate, | |
| And yet in persons three. | |
| |
| Praise him for that he creat hath | |
| The heauen, the earth, and all, | |
| And euer hath preserued them since | 15 |
| From their ruine and fall. | |
| But praise him more, if more can be, | |
| That so he loues his name, | |
| As he doth mercie shew to all | |
| That doe professe the same. | 20 | | | |
