What shall I render to Thy name <br />Or how Thy praises speak? <br />My thanks how shall I testify? <br />O Lord, Thou know'st I'm weak. <br /> <br />I owe so much, so little can <br />Return unto Thy name, <br />Confusion seizes on my soul, <br />And I am filled with shame. <br /> <br />O Thou that hearest prayers, Lord, <br />To Thee shall come all flesh <br />Thou hast me heard and answered, <br />My plaints have had access. <br /> <br />What did I ask for but Thou gav'st? <br />What could I more desire? <br />But thankfulness even all my days <br />I humbly this require. <br /> <br />Thy mercies, Lord, have been so great <br />In number numberless, <br />Impossible for to recount <br />Or any way express. <br /> <br />O help Thy saints that sought Thy face <br />T' return unto Thee praise <br />And walk before Thee as they ought, <br />In strict and upright ways.<br /><br />Anne Bradstreet<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-thankful-remembrance-for-my-dear-husband-s-sa/
