Бёрд Уильям - O God that guides the cheerful sun - текст песни (слова)

O God that guides the cheerfull Sunne,
 By motions strange the year to frame,
 Which now returnde whence it begun,
 From heaven extols thy glorious name.
 This new-yeares season sanctifie,
 with double blessings of thy store,
 That graces new may multiply,
 and former follies raigne no more. Chorus
 So shall our hearts with heaven agree,
 & both give laud & praise to thee. Th'old yeare by course is past and gone,
 olde Adam Lord from us expell:
 New creatures make us every one,
 new life becomes the New-yeare well.
 As new borne babes from malice keepe,
 new wedding garments O Christ we crave:
 That we thy face in heaven may see
 with Angels bright our soules to save. Chorus Amen
