Thou hast granted my appeal, thou hast heard me; thou didst note my ardent zeal, thou hast spared me. 2 Wherefore with my utmost art, I will sing thee, and the cream of all my heart I will bring thee. Though my sins against me cried, thou didst clear me, and alone, when they replied, thou didst hear me. 3 Sev'n whole days, not one in sev'n, I will praise thee; in my heart, though not in heav'n, I can raise thee. Small it is, in this poor sort to enrol thee: e'en eternity's too short to extol thee. Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 Used With Tune: GWALCHMAI
