Lyics

What shall I render to God

For all his kindness shown?

My feet shall visit thine abode,

My songs address thy throne.



Among the saints that fill thy house

My offerings 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 loosed 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.
