All Praise to him who hath now turn'dA
My feares to Joyes my sighes to songB
My Teares to smiles my sad to gladC
He's come for whom I waited longB
Thou di'st preserve him as he wentD
In raging stormes did'st safely keepE
Did'st that ship bring to quiet PortF
The other sank low in the DeepE
From Dangers great thou did'st him freeG
Of Pyrates who were neer at handH
And order'st so the adverse windI
That he before them gott to LandH
In covntry strange thou did'st provideJ
And freinds rais'd him in euery PlaceK
And courtesies of svndry sortsL
From such as 'fore nere saw his faceK
In sicknes when he lay full soreM
His help and his Physitian wer'tJ
When royall ones that Time did dyeN
Thou heal'dst his flesh and cheer'd his heartJ
From troubles and Inc bers ThovO
Without all fraud did'st sett him freeG
That without scandall he might comeP
To th'Land of his NativityG
On Eagles wings him hether brovghtG
Thro Want and Dangers manifoldG
And thvs hath gravnted my ReqvestG
That I thy Mercyes might beholdG
O help me pay my Vowes O LordG
That ever I may thankfull beeG
And may putt him in mind of whatG
Tho'st done for him and so for meG
In both our hearts erect a frameQ
Of Duty and of ThankfullnesK
That all thy favours great receiv'dG
Oure vpright walking may expresseK
O Lord gravnt that I may never forgett thy Loving kindnes in this Particular and how gratiovsly thov hast answered my DesiresK
