“My soul, with humble fervor raise
To God the voice of grateful praise;
And all thy ransomed powers combine
To bless his attributes divine.

“Deep on my heart let memory trace
His acts of mercy and of grace;
Who with a father’s tender care
Saved me when sinking in despair.

“He led our longing souls to prove
The joys of his abounding love.
And when we did his grace request,
He led our weary feet to rest.”
