A rod shall shut fourth, from the old stock of Iesse, And a bright blossom, from that rote will arise. Upon whom always, the spirit of the lord shall be, The spirit of wisdom, the spirit of heavenly practise, And the spirit that will, all godliness devise, Take this for a sign, A maid of Israel, Shall conceive and bear, that lord Emanuel. Thy praises condygne, no mortal tongue can tell, Most worthy maker, and king of heavenly glory. For all capacytees, thy goodness doth excel, Thy plenteous graces, no brain can cumpas truly, No wit can conceive, the greatness of thy mercy, Declared of late, in David thy true servant, And now confirmed, in this thy latter covenant. Of goodness thou madest, Solomon of wit most pregnant, Asa and Iosaphat, with good king Ezechias, In thy sight to do, that was to the right pleasant. To quench idolatry, thou raysedest up Helias, Iehu, Hellseus, Micheas, and Abdias. And Naaman Syrus, thou pourgedest of a lepry, Thy works wonderful, who can but magnify? Aryse Hierusalem, and take faythe by and bye, For the very light, that shall save thee, is coming. The son of the lord, apere will evidently, When he shall resort, see that no joy be wanting, He is thy saver, and thy life everlasting, Thy release from sin, and thy whole righteousness. Help me in this song, to knowledge his great goodness▪ O fruitful rote of Iesse, that shall be set as a sign among people, against the worldly rulers shall fiercely open their mouths. Whom the gentiles shall worship as their heavenly lord, come now for to deliver us, and delay the time no longer. I Have with fierceness, mankind oft times corrected. And again I have, alured him by sweet promise. I have sent sore plagues, when he hath me neglected. And then by and by, most comfortable sweetness. To win him to grace, both mercy and righteousness. I have exercised, yet will he not amend. Shall I now lose him, or shall I him defend? In his most mischief, most high grace will I send. To overcome him, by favour, if it may be. With his abusions, no longer will I contend. But now accomplish, my first will and decree. My word being flesh, from hens shall set him free. Him reaching a way, of perfect righteousness. That he shall not need, to perish in his weakness.
