MY Soul, let all thy noblest Powers,* 1.1
And Faculties combine:
Awake my Tongue; and to my Thoughts* 1.2
Thy tuneful Numbers join.
All that's within me, bless and praise* 1.3
My Saviour and my King:
When He's the Subject of the Song,* 1.4
Who can forbear to sing?
Holy and Reverend is his Name;* 1.5
How glorious, and how sweet!
All Greatness, and all Goodness too
I' th' Name of JESUS meet.
A Name vile Men shall one day dread,* 1.6
As now the Devils fear:* 1.7
A Name the Heavenly Hosts adore,* 1.8
To pardon'd Sinners dear;* 1.9
Most dear to them by strongest Ties* 1.10
Of his Redeeming Love,
Which by a thousand Torments try'd,
Did always constant prove.
Not Death with all its poison'd Darts
Could balk his Enterprize;
This spotless Lamb resolv'd to fall* 1.11
A willing Sacrifice.
