England's rejoicing at that happy day  
That peace and truth it may bear sway,  
Being th' Election of that thing,  
In choosing us a Royal King,   
To the Tune of, Gallant soldiers do not muse.  
 
 


LEt England now rejoice with speed  
since in heart the House decreed  
In granting a free Parliament  
to give true Subjects now content,  

That we may rejoice and sing  
that happy day we chused a King.    

About the merry month of May,  
we hope to see that happy day  
Wherein they will so well agree  
that we shall live in unity,  

Whereby we may rejoice and sing,  
that happy day we chused a King.    

The Army it doth take a part  
for to join with hand and heart  
Whereby we may have a head  
that may stand us in some stead  

That we may rejoice and sing  
that happy day we chused a King.    

Apollo's wisdom God them send,  
And Hercules's strength for to defend  
That we all may live in peace,  
and that these bloody wars may cease  

Then we shall rejoice and sing  
that happy day we chused a King.    

This many years we've been in woe  
not knowing well our friend from foe  
Which brought the land into great strife  
to kill and slay we were so rife  

But now we will rejoice and sing  
that happy day we chused a King.    

Although we have then suffered long  
we hope now for to change that song  
That peace and truth may bear the sway  
God grant us then that happy day  

That we may rejoice and sing  
when Charles the second is our King.     

The second part,  
to the same Tune.  
 
 

IN former age we were at rest  
when as the Land was not so seast  
But lived in love and unity,  
until became this misery.  

But now we will rejoice and sing  
when Charles the second is our King.    

The sad excise hath been so rife  
it hath both beggared man and wife,  
But now we hope that it will down,  
when that Charles obtains the Crown  

than we will rejoice and sing  
that happy day we chused a King.    

Trading it hath lain long dead,  
and all was for want of a head,  
Which we hope for to obtain,  
to live in comfort once again.  

Then we will rejoice and sing,  
when Charles the second is our King.    

That Proclamation it will down  
that took away Charles Stuart's crown  
And Charles the second once again  
doth hope the same for to obtain  

And then we will rejoice and sing  
when Charles the second is our King.    

False Prophets they did soon arise,  
and thought thereby to get a prize,  
And for to pull the Churches down  
but they will be taimed soon,  

And then we shall rejoice and sing  
when Charles the second is our King.    

Of New years day they did begin  
thinking that they all might win,  
York Minster they locked on the same  
thinking thereby to honour gain,  
But aid there came then presently  
which made them presently to fly.   

If they will not be ruled in time  
they will be punished for their crime,  
When that Charles will bear the sway,  
their quaking then will soon decay,  

And then we may rejoice and sing  
when Charles the second is the King.    

Then will the Gospel flourish rife,  
and we shall be no more at strife,  
Where by we may give God the praise  
that such a Comforter did raise,  
To cause thereby a happy peace,  
that these bloody wars may cease.  

Then may we all rejoice and sing  
that happy day we chused a King.     
FINIS.
