Isaac Watts· Post-Reformation

Highlight

Verse 1

What shall I render to my God
For all His kindness shown?
My feet shall visit Thine abode,
My songs address Thy throne.

Verse 2

Among the saints that fill Thy house,
My offering shall be paid;
There shall my zeal perform the vows
My soul in anguish made.

Verse 3

How much is mercy Thy delight,
Thou ever-blessed God!
How dear Thy servants in Thy sight!
How precious is their blood!

Verse 4

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.

Verse 5

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.

Verse 6

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.
