In Thankful Remembrance for My Dear Husbands Safe Arrival

What shall I render to Thy name       Or how Thy praises speak?

My thanks how shall I testify?       O Lord,

Thou know'st I'm weak.

I owe so much, so little can       Return unto Thy name,

Confusion seizes on my soul,       And I am filled with shame.

O Thou that hearest prayers,

Lord,       To Thee shall come all flesh Thou hast me heard and answered,       My plaints have had access.

What did I ask for but Thou gav'st?       What could I more desire?

But thankfulness even all my days       I humbly this require.

Thy mercies,

Lord, have been so great       In number numberless,

Impossible for to recount       Or any way express.

O help Thy saints that sought Thy face       T' return unto Thee praise And walk before Thee as they ought,       In strict and upright ways.
