Words
⤢ Full screenWhat shall I render to my GodFor all his kindness shown?My feet shall visit thine abode,My songs address thy throne.
Among the saints who fill thy houseMy offering shall be paid;There shall my zeal perform the vowsMy soul in anguish made.
How much is mercy thy delight,Thou ever-blessed God!How dear thy servants in thy sight!How precious is their blood!
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.
