What special Love the Lord above
to my dear Soul did shew:
[verse 17] My mouth did his renown record,
my tongue his praise preferr'd,
[verse 18] But if within I harbour'd sin
my prayer should not be heard.
[verse 19] But God hath heard me verily,
and hath been well content,
With willing ear my voice to hear,
and what I did present,
[verse 20] The Lord I bless and magnifie,
who turned not away;
Nor held from me his mercy free,
when I to him did pray.
