Third Tune for Archbishop Parker's Psalter
English source:
Liturgical
Why fum’th in fight the Gentiles spite,
In fury raging stout?
Why tak’th in hand the people fond,
Vain things to bring about?
The Kings arise, the Lords devise,
In counsels met thereto,
Against the Lord with false accord,
Against His Christ they go.
In fury raging stout?
Why tak’th in hand the people fond,
Vain things to bring about?
The Kings arise, the Lords devise,
In counsels met thereto,
Against the Lord with false accord,
Against His Christ they go.
