'''Praise (2)''' by George Herbert (1593–1633), published posthumously in ''The Temple'', 1633. King of Glory, King of Peace,   I will love Thee: And that love may never cease,   I will move Thee. Thou hast granted my request,   Thou hast heard me: Thou didst note my working breast,   Thou hast spared me. 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. Sev'n whole days, not one in seven,   I will praise Thee. In my heart, though not in Heaven,   I can raise Thee. Thou grew'st soft and moist with tears,   Thou relentedst: And when Justice call'd for fears,   Thou dissentedst. Small it is, in this poor sort   To enrol Thee: E’en eternity’s too short   To extol Thee.
