I will bless the Lord at all times.

THOU that hast given so much to me, Give one thing more, a grateful heart;

See how Thy beggar works on Thee By art.

He makes Thy gifts occasion more,

And says, if he in this be crost,

All Thou has given him heretofore

Is lost.

Wherefore I crie and crie again:

And in no quiet cans: Thou be,

Till I a thankful heart obtain

Of Thee:

Not thankful, when it pleaseth me

As if Thy blessings had spare days:

But such a heart whose pulse may be

Thy praise.
