What have we, as sinners, deserved?
What hath God in His graciousness given?
Let us love Him and serve Him, rejoicing below,
As we hope to do always in heaven.
Can myriads of glittering lights
E’er equal the brightness of day?
Or all that the world holds of pleasure and wealth
The joys of religion outweigh?
What have we, as sinners, deserved?
What hath God in His graciousness given?
