PART I. THE INTRODUCTION.
ALL praise be given to the Lord, Who condescends so low, For to unfold deep things to us, By things which we do know.
Lord give us more Knowledge divine, Thy Word Explain to us, That we may find those things of thine To be indeed precious.
Pour forth thy Spirit on us, Lord, Deep Mysteries to know, That we may find Grace in our Souls, And in it also grow:
And by it may be helped always Thy Praises to sing forth, And live also unto thy praise Whilst we are on the Earth.
And by it may be help'd alwayes Thy Praises to sing forth, And live also unto thy praise Whilst we are on the Earth.
