S. Philip and Iacob

TO thy Apostles thou hast taught,
What they, oh Christ, should do;
And those things which belieue they ought,
Of thee they learned to:
And that which thou to them hast showne,
Hath beene disposed thus;
They vnto others made it knowne,
And those haue tolde it vs.

With them we doe confesse and say,
(What shall not be denide)
Thou art the Truth, the Life, the Way,
And we in thee will bide:
By thee the Father we haue knowne,
Whom thou descendedst from;
And vnto him, by thee alone,
We haue our hope to come,

For, thou to Philip didst impart,
(Which our beleefe shall be)
That thou within the Father art,
And, that he is in Thee;
And saydst, what euer in thy Name
We should with faith require,
Thou wouldst giue eare vnto the same,
And grant vs our desire.

Of thee, oh LORD, we therefore craue,
(Which thou wilt daigne, we know)
The good Beleefe which now we haue,
We neuer may forgoe;
And that thy sacred Truth, which we
Thy Word haue learned from,
From Age to Age deriu'd may be,
Untill thy Kingdome come.
