Divine use of Musick

Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: We sing to thee, whose wisdom form'd Lyrics: 1 We sing to thee, whose wisdom form'd The curious organ of the ear; And thou who gav'st us voices, Lord, Our grateful songs in kindness hear. 2 We'll joy in god who is the spring, Of lawful joy and harmless mirth; whose boundless love is fitly call'd, The harmony of heav'n and earth. 3 Those praises, dearest, Lord, aloud, Our humble sonnets shall rehears: Which rightly tun'd, are rightly stil'd, The musick of the univere. 4 And whilst we sing; we'll consecrate, That too, too much profaned art By off'ring up with ev'ry tongue, In ev'ry song a flaming heart. 5 We'll hallow pleasure and redeem, From vulgar use our precious voice Those lips which wantonly have sung, Shall serve our turn for nobler joys.
