ANODYNE: EASE by THOMAS KEN

First Line: IN PITY MY MOST TENDER GOD
Last Line: LOVES ALL DAY LONG, AND WILL NOT BE CONFINED.
Subject(s): WORSHIP;

In pity my most tender God
Now takes from me His rod;
And the transporting Ease I feel,
Enkindles in me ardent zeal,
That love, joy, praise, may all combine,
To sing infinity of love divine.

My love, joy, praise, all powers within,
Your heavenly task begin!
My love shall ever keep on wing,
Incessantly shall heaven-ward spring;
Love, the beloved still keeps in mind,
Loves all day long, and will not be confined.
