Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCCCAs due by many titles I resign | A |
My self to Thee O God first I was made | B |
By Thee and for Thee and when I was decayed | B |
Thy blood bought that the which before was Thine | A |
I am Thy son made with Thy Self to shine | A |
Thy servant whose pains Thou hast still repaid | B |
Thy sheep thine image and till I betrayed | B |
My self a temple of Thy Spirit divine | A |
Why doth the devil then usurp on me | C |
Why doth he steal nay ravish that's thy right | D |
Except thou rise and for thine own work fight | D |
Oh I shall soon despair when I do see | C |
That thou lov'st mankind well yet wilt not choose me | C |
And Satan hates me yet is loth to lose me | C |
