triumph with pleasant melody - william byrd lyrics

triumph! with pleasant melodie
shewe foorth thy chereful mynde
let pining cares within thy brest
no place of harbor finde
awake! shake of thy drowzie dreams
and foolish fancies all
reioice with him, i say reioyce
that friendly dooth the call

what unacquainted cheerful voice
is this that i doe here
wch bids me triumph and reioyce
that erst was drencht in feare
it is the voice of christ thy frinde
yt died for thy sake
who for to worke thy woes an ende
thy shape did on him take
and where, by adams greevous gilt
thou wast condemnd to die
the precious blood yt i have spilt
saves thee eternally
wherefore reioyce, i say reioyce

my faltes o christ i do confes
& do thy mcie crave:
my self am come to wash thy sinne
& eke thy soule tosave:
let then thy brightnes of thy birth
the clowds of sinne expell
i am the only mean to bring
thy d*mned soule from h*ll
then shall my tong for ever sing
due praises to thy name:
i nought require but yt thou be
stil thankful for the same
to thee the father & the sprite
of grace be praize for ay
sing & reioce & god above
do mafnifi allwaies
sing and reioyce and god above
doe magnifie allwaies
