Praise (2) by George Herbert (1593–1633),
published posthumously in The Temple, 1633.

King of Glory, King of Peace,
   I will love Thee:
And that love may never cease,
   I will move Thee.

Thou hast granted my request,
   Thou hast heard me:
Thou didst note my working breast,
   Thou hast spared me.

Wherefore with my utmost art
   I will sing Thee,
And the cream of all my heart
   I will bring Thee.

Though my sins against me cried,
   Thou didst clear me;
And alone, when they replied,
   Thou didst hear me.

Sev'n whole days, not one in seven,
   I will praise Thee.
In my heart, though not in Heaven,
   I can raise Thee.

Thou grew'st soft and moist with tears,
   Thou relentedst:
And when Justice call'd for fears,
   Thou dissentedst.

Small it is, in this poor sort
   To enrol Thee:
E’en eternity’s too short
   To extol Thee.
