8 As God doth sow, so he likewise Doth cause the rain to fall, That so his Vineyard flourish may, And's Trees be fruitful all.
9 Which other Husbandmen can't do, Nor can they change the soil; But God can make Mens hearts most good Which naturally were vile.
9 Which other Husbandmen can't do, Nor can they change the soyl; But God can make Mens hearts most good Which naturally were vile.
10 All praise to him therefore let's give, And set his glory forth, And fruitfully unto him live, Whilst we do live on earth.
