Lyrics

My soul thro’ my Redeemer’s care
Sav’d from the second death I feel, (Ps. 116:8, Rev. 2:11, Rev. 20:6, Rev. 20:14)
Mine eyes from tears of vain despair, (Ps. 116:8)
My feet from falling into hell: (Ps. 116:8, Ps. 56:13)
Wherefore to him my feet shall run, (Ps. 116:9, Heb. 12:2)
Mine eyes on his perfections gaze, (Ps. 27:4)
My soul shall live for God alone, (Rom. 14:8)
And all within me shout his praise. (Ps. 103:1)
