This is the Day the Lord has made
he calls the hours his own
Let us be glad and joy therein
With Songs surround the throne
Master Behold me here I stand
To tell the hours at thy command
What is thy will is my Delight
To serve thee both by Day and Night
Master be wise and learn by me
To serve thy God as I serve thee

Hey! over! hark! Forward!
And Gallop it over the Plain, Sic

Oer Mountains he flies,
And afterwards he dies,
Having led us an excellent Chase;
We take of his Brush,
And then homeward push,
In order our Spirits to raise, Sic.

The bottle and Friend?
With a Bottle and Friend,
The Evening we'll spend,
To Crown the sweet sports of the Day;
