The Stennetts of England - Joseph Stennett - Hymn Poems

God of my life; who hast redeem'd

   God of my life; who hast redeem'd
Thy servant from th' expecting grave,
When death's attacks so fatal seem'd,
No other arm but thine could save.

   All my diseases thou dost heal,
And all my numerous sins forgive;
Love to my fainting soul reveal,
And make my dying body live.

   Who in the heavens above resides,
Whom I should love and praise like thee
Whom have I, Lord, on earth besides,
So worthy to be lov'd by me!

   But what wilt thou, my soul, return
To him who is above thy praise
That thou canst sing no better, mourn;
And all thy powers to bids him raise.

   For since my god in mercy joins
Some future moments to the past,
His grace my willing soul inclines
To praise him while these moments last.

   And when this little stream of time
Is left in vast eternity,
For angels hymns I'll change my rhime,

And sing in seraph's company.
