Th'appointed time, the day wheron  
Our solemn Feast comes round.  
This was a Statute giv'n of old  
For Israel to observe

A Law of Jacobs God, to hold  
From whence they might not swerve.  
This he a Testimony ordain'd  
In Joseph, not to change,  
When as he pass'd through Aegypt land;  
The Tongue I heard, was strange.  
From burden, and from slavish toyle  
I set his shoulder free;

His hands from pots, and mirie soyle  
Deliver'd were by me.  
When trouble did thee sore assaile,  
On me then didst thou call,  
And I to free thee did not faile,  
And led thee out of thrall.  
I answer'd thee in *thunder deep  
With clouds encompass'd round;  
I tri'd thee at the water steep  
Of Meriba renown'd.  
*Be Sether ragnam.

Hear O my people, heark'n well,  
I testifie to thee  
Thou antient flock of Israel,
