23
To save a poor distressed soul,
Speak thou the word, I shall be whole,
One look of thee shall do me good,
Save now, good Lord, my silly soul,
Bought with thine own most preeious blood
Sweet Lord my God, say me not nay,
For if I perish here I'll die.
Poor silly wreteh then speak no more,
Thy faith, poor soul, hath saved thee;
Enter thou in unto my glore,
And rest thro' all eternity.
How soon our Savionr these words said,
A long white robe to her was given;
And then the angels did her lead,
Forthwith within the gates of heaven:
A laurel crown set on her head,
Spangled with rubies and with gold:
A bright white palm she always had,
Glorious it was for to behold;
Her face did shine like to the sun,
Like threads of gold her hair hang down,
Her eyes like lamps unto the moon,
Of precious stones rieh was her erown.
Angels and Saints did weleome her,
The heavenly ehoir did sing, rejoiee;
King David with his harp was there:
The silver bells made a great noise.
