LESSON I. Of our Nature, and its Chief Happiness
by Philip Doddridge (1773–1832)
I Am the creature of the Lord, He made me by his pow'rful word, O may I love and serve him still, And form my actions by his will. Then he will bless me while I live, And when I die my soul receive. To dwell for ever in his sight, In perfect knowledge & delight.
