Psal 24 (MS. Fairfax 40, The Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford)
Transcription
Great monarch of the world whose people doe
Pay homage due & for earth fulness too
Who on the liquid floods he ther did please
To set its pillers & in deepest seas
Layd its foundations who is't then shal clime
This hill of wonder, this place so deuine
He he shall do't whos hart & hands are pure
Who noe reward Gifts can tempt & or vanity alure
He shall the wreath of victory sure obtaine
And Thatt from thy hand ô Lord saluation these graces gaine
Lift then vp your heads ye firme gates of hope
Yee euerlasting doores of ioy flie o'pe
That he in royal state may enter in
That is your lord & glorious your triumphant King
Who's this triumphant King of glory shewd that be ô he's no doubt
The lord of batails thats both strong & stout
Lift then vp your heads ye firme gates of hope
Ye euer lasting doores of ioy stand o'pe
As armes extended out receaue you in
Wth acclamations this your glorious King
Who is this King of glory shew't thatt we
May giue him prayse the Lord of Host is hee
Modernized Text
Great monarch of the world whose people do
Pay homage due and for earth's fulness too,
Who on the liquid floods he there did please
To set its pillars and in deepest seas
Laid its foundations! Who is't then shall climb
This hill of wonder, this place so divine?
He, he shall do't whose heart and hands are pure,
No gifts can tempt or vanity allure.
He shall the wreath of victory sure obtain,
That from thy hand, oh Lord, these graces gain.
Lift then up your heads ye firm gates of hope,
Ye everlasting doors of joy fly ope'
That he in royal state may enter in
That is your lord and your triumphant King!
Who's this triumphant King? Oh, he's no doubt
The lord of battles that's both strong and stout!
Lift then up your heads ye firm gates of hope,
Ye everlasting doors of joy stand ope'!
As arms extended out receive you in
With acclamations this your glorious King!
Who is this King of glory? Show't that we
May give him praise! The Lord of Hosts is he.
