¶Liedtext

Since God so tender a regard To all my poor requests did give, My best affections he shall have, And best devotions whilst I live. Assail'd with grief and pain, that seem'd The sad forerunners of the grave, To thee I made my request, O Lord: My life from threat'ning dangers save. Nor did I cry to God in vain, Nor did his mercy come too late, But when my skill was at a loss, His kindness rais'd my low estate. God and thyself, my soul, enjoy In quiet rest, freed from all fears, Who sav'd thy life, upheld thy steps, And dried up all thy falling tears. The solemn payment of the vows I made to God shall be my care, Who sav'd me from approaching death, And show'd my life to him was dear. By all engagements, Lord, I'm thine, Thy servant whom thou hast set free; The very bonds which thou hast loos'd Shall tie me faster unto thee.
