Of Thoughts.
To think upon the Pow'r of God, doth awe me;To think upon Gods Justice, doth affright me;
To think upon the Love of God, doth draw me;
To think upon God's Mercy, doth delight me:
To think upon God's Bounty, that doth please me;
To think upon God's Favour, doth endear me;
To think upon God's Goodness, much doth ease me;
To think upon God's Promises, doth chear me.
Thus thinking what I think, doth make me say,
The more I think, the more methinks I may.
Lord, let my thoughts so firmly fixed be,
That I may think on nothing more than thee.
