14 The Vows which I did make to thee, [My God] I thankfully will pay Before thy Church and people all, [Even now] without fraud or delay.
15 The death and sufferings of his Saints The Lord doth not [slight or] despise; Whatever tempted men may think, Their blood the Lord doth [highly] prize.
16 Lord, I thy willing servant am, [Truly] thy service I profess: Son of thine hand-maid; thou hast loosed The [heavy] bonds of my distress.

17 To thee my offering shall be The sacrifice of [thanks and] praise; And (as my duty and my hope) I'll call on thee [my God] always.
