| Edward Farr, ed. Select Poetry of the Reign of Queen Elizabeth. 1845. | | | | An Exhortation, to Be Song before Euening Prayer | | CXV. T. B. |
| | | BEHOLD now giue heede, such as be | |
| The Lord’s seruants faithfull and true; | |
| Come, prayse the Lord, euery degree, | |
| With such songs as to him are due. | |
| |
| O ye that stand in the Lord’s house, | 5 |
| Euen in our owne God’s mansion, | |
| Praise ye the Lord so bounteous, | |
| Which worketh our saluation. | |
| |
| Lift vp your hands in his holy place, | |
| Yea, and that in the time of night; | 10 |
| Praise ye the Lord which giueth all grace, | |
| For he is a Lord of great might. | |
| |
| Then shal the Lord out of Sion, | |
| Which made heauen and earth by his power, | |
| Giue to you and your nation | 15 |
| His blessing, mercy, and fauour. | | | | |
