Return, my soul, and sweetly rest
On thy almighty Father’s breast;
The bounties 0 his grace adore,
And count his wondrous mercies o'er.
Thy mercy, Lord, preserved my breath,
And snatched my fainting soul from death;
Removed my sorrows, dried my tears,
And saved me from surrounding snares.
What shall I render to the Lord?
Or how his wondrous grace record?
To him my grateful voice I'll raise,
With just thanksgiving to his praise.
O Zion! in thy sacred courts,
Where glory dwells, and joy resorts,
To notes divine I ’ll tune the song,
And praise shall flow from every tongue.
