Verse 1
Thy unworthy Servant, Lord,
With abundant Grace receive,
That I may fulfil thy Word,
Bid me by thy Mercy live:
Open Thou mine inward Eyes,
From the Book the Veil remove,
That I may discern the Prize,
The High Prize of Perfect Love.

Verse 2
Known on Earth to None but Thee,
Here a banish’d Man I roam,
Let me thy Commandments see,
Shew the Light that guides me home
All their deep Design reveal,
All their inward Power impart,
Grave them with thy Spirit’s Seal
On the Tables of my Heart.

Verse 3
Faints my Soul with strong Desire
All thy Counsels to fulfil;
Only This I still require;
Let me do thy perfect Will.
Wretched, and accurst are They
Bruis’d by thy Afflictive Rod
Who from thy Commandments stray,
Proudly sin against their GOD.

Verse 4
Far from me, O Lord, remove
Foul Reproach, and guilty Shame,
I to keep thy Law have strove,
I have suffer’d for thy Name.
Mighty Men, and Princes sat,
Threatning in the Scorner’s Chair,
All their haughty Anger’s Weight
Meekly I rejoic’d to bear.

Verse 5
Still I own’d Thee for my Lord,
Thee I fear’d, and Thee alone,
Musing in the Written Word
In the Power of GOD went on:
Strength, and Counsel, and Delight
By the Word I still receive,
By the Word I walk aright,
By the Word forever live.
