Job 31:1: How shall I keep the promise, how
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
How shall I keep the promise, how
The covenant fulfil?
Great Witness of my secret vow,
Thy saving grace reveal:
Thy help continually afford,
Thy Spirit of faith and love.
And true to my redeeming Lord,
I never more shall rove.
Confiding in the promised power.
The truth of love Divine,
Mine eyes and heart I now restore,
Mine eyes and heart are Thine:
My ransom'd soul and body I
Into Thy keeping give.
And live entirely Thine and die,
For ever Thine to live.
