 (Sung text)

Language: English 
The man of life vpright,
    Whose guiltlesse hart is free
From all dishonest deedes,

    In harmeles ioys are spent,
Whom hopes cannot delude,

    With vnafrighted eyes
The horrours of the deepe
    And terrours of the Skies.

Language: English

Thou may'st call thine when thou from youth convertest.
