The glories that compose thy name
Stand all engaged to make me blest.

And let rich sinners 'scape secure,
While gold and greatness bribe your hands?

Of boundless love, and grace unknown,
Hide me beneath thy spreading wings,
Till the dark cloud is overblown.

Though all my crimes before thee lie,
Behold them not with angry look,
But blot their mem'ry from thy book.

Ere we can offer our complaints,

Restore thy servant, Lord;
Nor let a Father's chast'ning prove
Like an avenger's sword.

At thy command diseases fly:
Who but a God can speak and save
From the dark borders of the grave?

Ascribe due honors to his name,
And his eternal might adore.
