Classic Poem

1. Confess we all, before the Lord, His grace and mercy then.
2. In presence of his holy ones. Praise him with joy and fear.
And shew his acts with one accord. Before the sons of men
Who doth revive our withered bones. And light from darkness rear

3. Man, woman, child, both old and young.
Rich, poor, the low and high,
Laud and extol with heart and tongue,
The highest Majesty.

4. Let all that lives confess his grace,
That saves their life and fame.
Let none by wicked life deface,
The glory of his name.

5. And thou, my Soul, remember well
The kindness of the Lord,
Cease not with thankful lips to tell
The trueness of his word.

6. Who gave thee pardon of thy sin,
And kept thee from the smart
(For all the danger thou wert in)
Of the infectious dart.
