The Creation, Hob.XXI,2: Pt. 3, Our Duty We Have Now Performed

Our duty we have now performed in off'ring up to God our thanks. Now follow me, dear partner of my life! Thy guide I'll be, and ev'ry step pours new delights into our breast, shows wonders ev'rywhere. Then may'st thou feel and know the high degree of bliss, the Lord allotted us, and with devoted heart His bounty celebrate. Come follow me! Thy guide I'll be.

O thou, for whom I am! My help, my shield, my all! Thy will is law to me. So doth our Lord ordains, and from obedience brings me joy and happiness.
