XXXV. Thankfulness for merices

1 What shall I render to my God
For all his kindness shown?
My feet shall visit thine abode,
My songs address thy throne.

2 Among the saints that fill thine house,
My off'rings shall be paid;
There shall my zeal perform the vows
My soul in anguish made.

3 How much is mercy thy delight,
Thou ever blessed God!
How dear thy servants in thy sight!
How precious is their blood?

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.

5 Now I am thine, for ever thine
Nor shall my purpose move;
Thy hand hath loos'd my bonds of pain,
And bound me with thy love.
