Lyrics

O God, the kyng of glory,
which hast exalted thine only sonne Jesus Christe,
with great triumphe unto thy kingdom in heauen;
we beseche thee, leaue us not comfortles;
but sende to us thine holy ghost to comfort us
and exalte us unto the same place
whither our sauiour Christe is gone before;
who lyueth and reigneth with Thee. And the same Holy Ghost. One God, world without end. Amen
