Rejoice in God O ye tongues give the glory to the Lord and the Lamb

Nations and languages and every Creature in which is the breath of Life

Let man and beast appear before him and magnify his name together

Let Nimrod the mighty hunter bind a Leopard to the altar and consecrate his spear to the Lord

Let Ishmael dedicate a Tyger and give praise for the liberty in which the Lord has let him at large

Let Balaam appear with an Ass and bless the Lord his people and his creatures for a reward eternal

Let Daniel come forth with a Lion and praise God with all his might through faith in Christ Jesus

Let Ithamar minister with a Chamois and bless the name of Him that clotheth the naked

Let Jakim with the Satyr bless God in the dance

Treble Solo

For I will consider my Cat Jeoffry

For he is the servant of the Living God duly and daily serving him

For at the first glance of the glory of God in the East he worships in his way

For this is done by wreathing his body seven times round with elegant quickness

For he knows that God is his Saviour

For God has blessed him in the variety of his movements

For there is nothing sweeter than his peace when at rest

For I am possessed of a cat surpassing in beauty from whom I take occasion to bless Almighty God

Alto Solo

For the Mouse is a creature of great personal valour

If you will let her go I will engage you as prodigious a creature as you are

For the Mouse is a creature of great personal valour

For the Mouse is of an hospitable disposition

Tenor Solo

For the flowers are great blessings

For the flowers have their angels even the words of God's Creation

For the flower glorifies God and the root parries the adversary

For there is a language of flowers

For flowers are peculiarly the poetry of Christ

Chorus

For I am under the same accusation with my Saviour -

For they said he is beside himself

For the officers of the peace are at variance with me and the watchman smites me with his staff

For Silly Fellow Silly Fellow is against me and belongeth neither to me nor to my family

For I am in twelve HARDSHIPS but he that was born of a virgin shall deliver me out of all

Recitative

Bass Solo

And Chorus

For H is a spirit and therefore he is God

For K is king and therefore he is God

For L is love and therefore he is God

For M is musick and therefore he is God

For the instruments are by their rhimes

For the Shawm rhimes are lawn fawn moon boon and the like

For the harp rhimes are sing ring string and the like

For the cymbol rhimes are bell well toll soul and the like

For the flute rhimes are tooth youth suit mute and the like

For the Bassoon rhimes are pass class and the like

For the dulcimer rhimes are grace place beat heat and the like

For the Clatinet rhimes are clean seen and the like

For the trumpet rhimes are sound bound soar more and the like

For the TRUMPET of God is a blessed intelligence and so are all the instruments in HEAVEN

For GOD the father Almighty playes upon the HARP of stupendous magnitude and melody

For at that time malignity ceases and the devils themselves are at peace

For this time is perceptible to man by a remarkable stillness and serenity of soul

Hallelujah from the heart of God and from the hand of the artist inimitable and from the echo of the heavenly harp in sweetness magnifical and mighty
