    Lyrics
    To Music bent is my retired mind
    and fain would I some song of pleasure sing
    But in vain joys no comfort now I find
    From heavenly thoughts all true delights doth spring*
    Thy power oh God thy mercies to record
    Will sweeten every note and every word

    All earthly pomp or beauty to express
    Is but to carve in snow, on waves to write.
    Celestial things though men conceive them less
    Yet fullest are they in themselves of light
    Such beams they yield as know no means to die
    Such heat they cast as lifts the spirits high.

    *[spot the grammatical error!]
