1 Now shall my solemn Vows be paid
To that Almighty Pow'r,
That heard the long Requests I made
In my distressful Hour.
2 My Lips and chearful Heart prepare
To make his Mercies known;
Come, ye that fear my GOD, and hear
The Wonders he has done.
3 When on my Head huge Sorrows fell,
I sought his heav'nly Aid;
He sav'd my sinking Soul from Hell,
And Death's eternal Shade.
4 If Sin lay cover'd in my Heart,
While Pray'r employ'd my Tongue,
The Lord had shewn me no Regard,
Nor I his Praises sung.
5 But GOD (his Name be ever blest)
Has set my Spirit free;
Nor turn'd from him my poor Request,
Nor turn'd his Heart from me.
