2 He likewise doth his Children clothe, And doth them also love; So thou most richly clothes all such That are born from above.
2 He likewise doth his Children cloath, And doth them also love; So thou most richly cloaths all such That are born from above.
3 A Father feeds and does protect Such who his Children be: So thou dost feed and save all those Who do belong to thee.
4 And also doth delight in them Who him resemble do: To such who are most like to thee, Thou dost chief favour show.
Second Part. 5 A Father loves his Children should All live in Unity; So thou delights to see thy Saints Walk in sweet Harmony. ⟨p. 4⟩6 He ever does overlook the faults, Which he in them does spy: So all thy People's faults likewise Thou dost, O Lord, pass by. 7 'Tis a high honour to descend From such who Noble be; Kings Children are all but base born, To those, Lord, born of thee. 8 Rich Parents may soon poor be made, And also they do die: Thou Lord art rich, and so wilt be Unto Eternity. 9 All praise and glory unto God Our Father, be therefore: And unto Christ that ransomed us, Be Praise for evermore.
