Rhyme Scheme: ABABAAAA CDCCEEEE ACACABAB FGHGAIAI| Lord should the sunne the clowds the winde | A |
| The ayre and seasons be | B |
| To vs so froward unkind | A |
| As we are false to thee | B |
| All fruites would quite away be burn'd | A |
| Or lye in water drown'd | A |
| Or blasted be or ouerturn'd | A |
| Or chilled on the ground | A |
| - | |
| But from our duty though we swarue | C |
| Thou still dost mercy shew | D |
| And daign thy creatures to preserue | C |
| That men might thankfull grow | C |
| Yet though from day to day we sinne | E |
| And thy displeasure gaine | E |
| No sooner we to cry beginne | E |
| But pitty we obtaine | E |
| - | |
| The weather now thou changed hast | A |
| That put vs late to feare | C |
| And when our hopes were almost past | A |
| Then comfort did appeare | C |
| The heauen the earth's complaints hath heard | A |
| They reconciled be | B |
| And thou such weather hast prepar'd | A |
| As we desired of thee | B |
| - | |
| For which with lifted hands and eyes | F |
| To thee we doe repay | G |
| The due and willing sacrifice | H |
| Of giving thanks to day | G |
| Because such offrings we should not | A |
| To render thee be slowe | I |
| Nor let thy mercie be forgot | A |
| Which thou art pleased to showe | I |
