LyicsWHAT shall I render to my God
For all his kindness shown?
My feet shall visit thine abode,
My songs address thy throne.
Among the saints who fill thy house,
My off'ring shall be paid;
There shall my zeal perform the vows
My soul, in anguish, made.
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.
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.
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.
