Convertimento á Dio

LORD, my First-fruits should have been brought to thee,
Whose due I am, and all that's mine,
By Birth-right Thou a Title hast to me,
And by Command those Fruits are Thine;
But Thine, or mine, neither have bin
Offered before to Sin.

Sin came, and first conceal'd my right in Thee,
And then usurpt what e're was mine,
But let Redemption clear Thy Right to me,
And then both shall again be Thine,
Both Thine and mine, tho they have bin,
Offered before to Sin,

Instead of First-fruits, Lord, I bring to Thee,
Th' whole Harvest, which yet is not mine,
Thou in return shalt give Thy self to me
And make it so, because 'tis Thine:
Both Thine and mine, as if 't had bin,
Neve'r offered up to Sin.
