THrice Welcome to London, that Renowned Prince, Who freely stood up for the Nations Defence: Nay, when we were sinking and ready to fall, Then did he step in and Deliver us all; When we on the brink of sad Ruine did stand, 'Twas done by a Mighty Miraculous Hand: He but little Blood in this Nation did spill, Our Gracious King Willian may Heaven bless still.
He is in the prospect of England's Great Crown, And fully resolves to keep Popery down; And therefore he ventur'd o're Tempestuous Seas, When he might have tarry'd at home at his ease: But 'twas for our good, as it well does appear, That he was so Graciously pleas'd to come here: No Trouble nor Danger his Courage could kill, Our Gracious King William may Heaven bless still.
To stand for Religion is all his Design, His heart is so Gracious, so Good and Divine, And therefore in pity, he came to subdue Those Troubles and Dangers he fear'd wou'd ensue: 'Twas time to stand up for the Protostant Cause, When as they endeavour'd to make void our Laws; But yet I do hope they shall ne'r have their Will, Our Gracious King William may Heaven bless still. With loud Acclamations he was Welcom'd in, And he does the hearts of all Honest Men win; While Bells they are Ringing, and Trumpets do soun[d] His Health in Canary goes merrily round: As knowing he never intended to wrong No Person of what unto them did belong, But settle our Laws by the best of his skill, Our Gracious King William may Heaven bless still. The most of his Army we see are inclin'd Unto a most Noble and Generous Mind; Behaving themselves here most gallant and brave, Both Silver and Gold in their Pockets they have; They come not to burthen this Nation at all, But freely they pay for what ever they call; By which they have purchas'd the Nations Good-will, Our Gracious King William may Heaven bless still. There's each drooping Soul which did formerly grieve They having much reason, alas! to believe That Popery over the Nation wou'd spread; This filled their hearts with much sorrow and dread: And yet when our hopes they were quite at an end, The Lord he in mercy, his Church did defend: Then let e'ry Christian submit to his Will, And pray that our King may be Prosperous still. And when a Free-Parliament shall come to Sit, They may not their faithful Allegiance forget, But Act what is Honest, both Upright and fair, 'Twixt William our King, and his People with care; That here in this Land in much Glory, he may Wear the Royal Crown, and the Scepter here Sway: For he to this Nation a Blessing does bring, Then let's pray for William our Protestant King.
