← The Psalms of David Imitated in the Language of the New Testament and Applied to the Christian State and Worship

1 What shall I render to my God For all his kindness shown? My feet shall visit thine abode, My songs address thy throne.

2 Among the saints that fill thine house, My offerings shall be paid; There shall my zeal perform the vows My soul in anguish made.

3 How much is mercy thy delight, Thou ever blessed God! How dear thy servants in thy sight! How precious is their blood!

4 How happy all thy servants are! How great thy grace to me! My life which thou hast made thy care, Lord, I devote to thee.

5 Now I am thine, for ever thine, Nor shall my purpose move; Thy hand hath loos'd my bonds of pain, And bound me with thy love.

6 Here in thy courts I leave my vow, And thy rich grace record; Witness, ye saints, who hear me now, If I forsake the Lord.
