The second Part.
1 A House preserves from heat and cold, From Winds and cruel storms; Those who Lord dwell in thee are bold, Being safe from fear of harms.
2 And in our House our comforts lie, And all our chiefest treasure: God is our Joy, our Souls delight, In whom is sweetest pleasure.
3 Propriety unto a house Doth make it valued; Our interest in our God, alone, Makes us lift up our head.
4 In a great House are many Rooms To dine and also lye, Rare secret Chambers also we Do in thee clearly spy.
