My God, I cried, Thy servant save Thou ever good and just; Thy power can rescue from the grave, Thy power is all my trust.

The Lord beheld me sore distress'd, He bid my pains remove: Return, my soul, to God thy rest, For thou hast known His love.

My God hath saved my soul from death, And dried my falling tears; Now to His praise I'll spend my breath, And my remaining years.
