Where shall our wandering souls begin ?
How shall we all to heaven aspire ?
As slaves redeem'd from death and sin,
As brands pluck´d from eternal fire,
How shall we suited triumphs raise,
Or sing our great Deliver's praise ?

O how shall we the goodness tell,
Father, which Thou to us hast shewed,
Children of wrath and doomed to hell,
But children now redeemed to God ?
On earth we know our sins forgiven,
Blest with this antepast of heaven.
