My soul shall with wonder proclaim

Verse 1

My soul shall with wonder proclaim The love of my Father and God, Whose promises ever remain, And each in its course is made good; They’re great, and exceeding great too; More precious than rubies by far; Like streams from the fountain they flow, And Zion preserve from despair.

Verse 2

Like Abra’m and Sarah, have I Endeavoured with reason and wit, Some blessing to get and enjoy Much sooner than God promised it; Like them too, I’ve proved in the end, My labour brought bondage and pain; And yet (O how faithful’s my Friend!) In due time the true blessing came.
