I.
WHerewith
shall
I
approach
this
awful
Lord
,
What
shall
I
bring
,
What
sacrifice
Will
not
so
great
a
deity
despise
;
Tell
me
you
lofty
spirits
that
fall
down
,
The
nearest
to
his
throne
,
Oh
tell
me
how
,
Or
wherewithal
shall
I
before
my
own
,
and
your
dread
maker
bow
.
Will
Carmels
verdant
top
afford
,
No
equal
offering
,
Ten
thousand
rams
,
a
bounteous
offering
'tis
,
When
all
the
flocks
upon
a
thousand
spacious
hills
are
his
,
Will
Streams
of
fragrant
oil
his
wrath
controul
;
Or
the
more
precious
flood
,
Of
my
first
born's
blood
,
Compound
for
all
my
debts
and
make
a
full
Attonement
for
my
Soul
.
II
.
If
not
great
God
what
then
dost
thou
require
,
Or
what
wilt
thou
daign
to
accept
from
me
,
All
,
that
my
own
thou
giv'st
me
leave
to
call
,
I
willingly
again
resign
to
thee
.
My
youth
and
all
its
blooming
heat
,
My
muse
and
every
raptur'd
thought
,
to
thee
I
dedicate
,
(
'Tis
fit
the
islues
of
that
sacred
fire
,
Should
to
its
own
celestial
orb
retire
)
And
all
my
darling
vanities
,
For
thee
I'll
sacrifice
,
My
favourite
lust
and
all
,
Among
the
rest
promiscuously
shall
fall
;
No
more
that
fond
beloved
sin
I'll
spare
,
Than
the
great
Patriarck
would
have
done
his
heir
,
And
this
great
God
altho
a
worthless
prize
,
Is
a
sincere
,
intire
,
and
early
sacrifice
.
