To God, my Saviour and my King,
Fain would my soul her tribute bring;
Join me, ye saints, in songs of praise,
For ye have known and felt his grace.
Wretched and helpless once I lay,
Just breathing all my life away:
He saw me weltering in my blood,
And felt the pity of a God.
With speed he flew to my relief,
Bound up my wounds, and soothed my grief;
Poured joys divine into my heart,
And bade each anxious fear depart.
These proofs of love, my dearest Lord!
Deep in my breast I will record:
The life which I from thee receive,
To thee, behold, I freely give.
My heart and tongue shall tune thy praise,
Through the remainder of my days;
And when I join the powers above,
My soul shall better sing thy love.
