Things done in us

by Benjamin Keach 1640–1704

From Spiritual Melody (1691), Part VIII

Religion

O Lord what hast thou done for us?
And in us also wrought;
On the Lord Jesus we depend,
By whom our Souls were bought.

All praise and glory unto God
Who hath made us alive,
And to exalt thee let us see
We all of us do strive:

And to excell in doing all
That thou dost us command;
And readily obey thy Call,
That we may one day stand

With boldness, and the greatest joy,
Before thy glorious Throne,
When many Persons bitterly
Shall cry with woful moan.

Our works are all wrought in us, Lord,
And for us too by thee;
Thy Praises therefore we will sing,
And that continually.
