O world of wonders! (I can say no less),

 That I should be preserved in that distress

 That I have met with here! O blessed be

 That hand that from it hath deliver'd me!

 Dangers in darkness, devils, hell, and sin

 Did compass me, while I this vale was in:

 Yea, snares, and pits, and traps, and nets, did lie

 My path about, that worthless, silly I

 Might have been catch'd, entangled, and cast down;

 But since I live, let JESUS wear the crown.
