64b. Praise to God

1 The praises of my tongue
I offer to the Lord,
That I was taught and learn'd so young
To read his holy word.

2 That I am brought to know
The danger I am in,
By nature and by practice, too,
A wretched slave to sin.

3 Dear Lord, this book of thine
Informs me where to go
For grace, to pardon all my sin,
And make me holy, too.

4 Here I can read and learn
How Christ, the Son of God,
Has undertook our great concern:
Our ransom cost his blood.

5 Then shall I praise the Lord
In a more cheerful strain,
That I was taught to read his word,
And have not learn'd in vain.
