                     I.
TO Sing the Mercies of the LORD
Our Tongues ſhall never ſpare:
Alſo our Mouths from Age to Age
His Righteouſneſs declare.
For when our Parents Us forſook,
And caſt Us off at large,
Ev'n then the LORD himſelf did take
Of Us the Care and Charge.

                     II.
How bleſt are They, who thus are made
GOD'S Stewards here below !
How happy We, who by their Aid
Are taught that GOD to know !
Reſcu'd from Want, from Vice, and Shame.
We'll all our future Days
Our Great CREATOR'S Love proclaim,
And celebrate his Praiſe.

                     CHORUS.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghoſt,
One conſubſtantial Three,
All higheſt Praiſe, all humble Thanks
Now, and for ever be.

                                       Hallelujah! — Hallelujah! &c.
