AL English hearts rejoyce and sing, that feares the Lord and loves our Queene, yeld thanks to God our heavenly king, who hytherto hir guide hath been: with faithfull hartes O God we crave long life on earth her Grace may have long life on earth her Grace may have. WE laude and prayse, his name alwayes, who doth our queene defend, and still we pray God night and day, to keepe her to the end. Thou fame flye out, send all about, how that with hart and voice, in spite of those that bee her Foes, this day we doe rejoyce.
AS David may, her Grace may say if open Foes an oath had sworne, To seeke her life with blooddie knife. it might the better have been borne. But those to whom shee bare good will, with spite did seeke her blood to spill. We laude and praise, etc. A Judith just shee still hath beene, a loving Prince to Subjects all: Shee is our good and gracious Queene, Lord blesse her that shee never fall. In any danger of her Foes But safely keepe her Lord from those. We laude and praise, etc. Confound them all that wickedlie pretend her hurt in any part, O Lord make knowne their villanie, that they may have their due desart. That all the worlde may knowe and see How thou doest hate their treacherie. We laude and praise, etc. Devide O Lord and make a spoyle, of them and all they have possest: As thou hast given some the foyle, like guerdon graunt to all the rest, That wish or will to worke her woe, Thy anger Lord upon them shoe. We laude and praise, etc.
If on our side God had not beene, when Traitours sought much blood to spill: This day of joy we had not seene, but had been subject to their will. But God doth aye all those defend, That on him doe only depend. We laude and praise, etc. Let Belles ring out let joy abounde, let earth and ayre bee fild with noyse: Let Drommes strike up, let Trumpets sound, let Musicke sweete shew foorth our joys: And let us all with one accord, To see this day joy in the Lord. We laude and praise, etc.
