Henry Purcell

Trio
Blessed is he that considereth the poor and needy:
the Lord will deliver him in the time of trouble.

Alto
The Lord preserve him, and keep him alive;
That he may be blessed upon the earth:
and deliver not thou him into the will of his enemies.

Trio
The Lord comfort him when he lieth sick upon his bed:
make thou all his bed in his sickness.

Glory be to the Father, glory be to the Son, glory be to the Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end, Amen.

Psalm 41: 1-3
