Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 116 (song 2)
Isaac Watts
What shall I render to my God
For all His kindness shown?
My feet shall visit Thine abode,
My songs address Thy throne.
2 Among the saints that fill Thine house,
My offerings shall be paid;
There shall my zeal perform the vows
My soul in anguish made.
3 How much is mercy Thy delight,
Thou ever-blessed God!
How dear Thy servants in Thy sight!
How precious is their blood!
4 How happy all Thy servants are!
How great Thy grace to me!
My life, which Thou hast made Thy care,
Lord, I devote to Thee.
5 Now I am Thine, for ever Thine,
Nor shall my purpose move!
Thy hand hath loosed my bands of pain,
And bound me with Thy love.
6 Here in Thy courts I leave my vow,
And Thy rich grace record;
Witness, ye saints, who hear me now,
If I forsake the Lord.
Isaac Watts, 1719.
