(1612-1672)
What shall I render to Thy name
Or how Thy praises speak?
My thanks how shall I testify?
O Lord, Thou know'st I'm weak.
I owe so much, so little
can
Return unto Thy name,
Confusion seizes on my soul,
And I am filled with shame.
O Thou that hearest prayers,
Lord,
To Thee shall come all flesh
Thou hast me heard and answered,
My plaints have had access.
What did I ask for but Thou
gav'st?
What could I more desire?
But thankfulness even all my days
I humbly this require.
Thy mercies, Lord, have
been so great
In number numberless,
Impossible for to recount
Or any way express.
O help Thy saints that sought
Thy face
T' return unto Thee praise
And walk before Thee as they ought,
In strict and upright ways.
