I said in my distress and fear,
That all men liars be
What shall I pay the Lord for all
his benefits to me?
The wholesome cup of saving health
I thankfully will take,
And on the Name of God will call,
when I my pray'rs do make.
I to the Lord will pay my vows
with joy and great delight,
Now at this very present time
in all his people's sight.
Right dear and precious in his sight
he always doth esteem
The death of all his holy ones,
whatever men do deem.
Thy servant, Lord, thy servant, 1o,
I do myself confess,
Son of thy handmaid, thou hast broke
the bonds of my distress.
Therefore I'll offer up to thee
a sacrifice of praise;
And I will call upon the Name
of God the Lord always.
I to the Lord will pay my vows
with joy and great delight,
Now at this very present time
in all his people's sight:
Yea, in the courts of God's own house,
and in the midst of thee,
O thou Jerusalem. Therefore
the Lord our God praise ye.
