In Thankful Remembrance for My Dear Husband's Safe Arrival
What shall I render to Thy nameOr how Thy praises speak?My thanks how shall I testify?O Lord, Thou know'st I'm weak.
I owe so much, so little canReturn 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 fleshThou 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 daysI humbly this require.
Thy mercies, Lord, have been so greatIn number numberless,Impossible for to recountOr any way express.
O help Thy saints that sought Thy faceT' return unto Thee praiseAnd walk before Thee as they ought,In strict and upright ways.
