Hymn to Christ for our Regeneration and Resurrection

TO Thee, my LORD. I lift the Song,
Awake, my tuneful Pow'rs:
In constant Praise my grateful Tongue
Shall fill my foll'wing Hours.

Gulty, condemn'd, undone I stood;
I bid my GOD depart:
He took my Sins, and paid his Blood,
And turn'd this wand'ring Heart.

Death, the grim Tyrant, seiz'd my Frame,
Vile, loathsome and accurst:
His Breath renews the vital Flame,
And Glories change the Dust,

Now, SAVIOUR, shall thy Praise commence;
My Soul by Thee brought Home,
And ev'ry Member, ev'ry Sense,
Recover'd from the Tomb.

To Thee my Reason I submit,
My Love, my Mem'ry, LORD,
My Eyes to read, my Hands to write,
My Lips to preach thy Word.
