3 Lord, thy great mercy did bring up My soul from death [and hell] to save; Till now thou hast kept me alive From an untimely [feared] grave.
4 O ye that are his holy ones, Sing [joyful] praises to the Lord; In memory of his holiness, Give thanks [to him] with one accord.
5 There's but a moment in his wrath: [Endless] life in his favour lies: Though weeping be our evening's work, Joy [with us] in the morn shall rise.
6 In health and sweet prosperity My [careless] heart affected was, As if I never should be moved, And see what [after] came to pass.
6 In health and sweet prosperity My [careless] heart affected was, As if I never should be mov'd, And see what [after] came to pass.
