1
To render thanks unto the LordHow great a Cause have I,
69
That heard so willingly?
Thou art my strength, thou hast me Stay'd,
O Lord, I Sing to Thee.
Thou art my Fort, my Fence and Aid,
A Loving God to me.
2
What thing is there that I can wishBut Thee in Heav'n above?
And in the Earth there is nothing
Like Thee that I can Love.
For why? the Well of Life so pure
Doth ever flow from Thee;
And in thy Light we are full sure
The lasting Light to see.
3
My heart would faint, but that in meThis hope is Fixed fast,
The Lord Gods good Grace shall I see
In Life that ay shall last.
For this God is our God, our God
For evermore is He.
This God of ours even unto Death
Our faithful Guide will be.

4
When I awake I shall beholdIn righteousness thy Face.
And I shall be most like to Thee,
Even filled with thy Grace.
Full Joys are in thy presence Lord,
(A Sweet and precious Store)
My God at thy right Hand there are
Pleasures for evermore.
