[Lord, bought by thy All-worthy Blood]
Lord, bought by thy All-worthy Blood,
Life, worthless I Receive:
Nourish'd with Health, and Peace, and Food,
Free from just Plagues, I live.
From thy great Friendship I enjoy
Friends that my Jewels are;
Originally the line read, “Friends greatly dear to mee:”
Mee Thou dost in thy Church employ
And still accept my Prayer.
Originally written, “To speak and write for Thee.”
CHRIST, His Promise, is mine;
Originally written, “Christ and his promises are mine.”
His Angels are my Guard.
I'l my long Praises therefore join,
With Thy good Angels, Lord.
