Whilst I was hearing Musick.

Feb. 1. 1671.

Lord, take my Soul, and tune it to thy will,
It wanteth tuning, but thou want'st no skill.
O let thy Grace my mind bring into frame,
So shall I love and praise thy glorious name.
In thy great goodness shall my heart rejoyce,
Thy goodness I will praise with chearful voice:
Also my Life I'l study so to frame,
That all my works may glorifie thy name.

71

Thus shall my Feet, my Tongue and Heart agree,
This harmony thou lov'st, this pleaseth me;
Thus will I spend my time on Earth, thus I
Will serve thee whilst I live, and when I die,
I in a nobler sort thy name will praise,
Let Grace raise me, so I'l thy Glory raise.
