The Third Part. The praise of the sacred Bridegroom.
1 Praise in the highest, joys betide These sacred Lovers dear; The holy Bridegroom and his Bride Most glorious do appear.
2 Let Heaven above be filled with Songs Who see how they do shine On Earth beneath, let all Mens Tongues Sing forth his praise divine.
2 Let Heaven above be fill'd with Songs Who see how they do shine On Eath beneath, let all Mens Tongues Sing forth his praise divine.
3 If sullen Man refuse to speak, (Since Heaven and Earth combine,) Let Rocks and stones their silence break, And sing his praise divine.
