Ja, ich will mich Dir verschreiben;
Lass es ewig feste bleiben,
Was ich Dir hab zugesagt.
[The good choice.]
Thou art my portion, O Lord; I have promised to keep Thy law.
Ps. cxix. 57.
Lo! my choice is now decided,
Now, with heart no more divided,
I devote to God my days;
Sin, to thee no more I listen,
World, howe’er thy gauds may glisten,
