My soul, to his commands submit,

for they are holy, just and true.

3 There is a gospel of rich grace,

whence sinners all their comfort draw

Lord, I repent and seek thy face,

for I have often broke thy law.

4 There is an hour when I must die,

nor do I know how soon ’twill come;

A thousand children young as I

are called by death to hear their doom.
