Profession of Sincerity, Repentance and Obedience

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #218a (1740) Topics: Delight in Law of God First Line: Thou art my Portion, O my GOD Lyrics: 1 Thou art my Portion, O my GOD; Soon as I know thy Way, My Heart makes Haste t'obey thy word, And suffers no Delay. 2 I choose the Path of Heav'nly Truth, And glory in my Choice; Not all the Riches of the earth Could make me so rejoice. 3 The Testimonies of thy Grace I set before my Eyes; Thence I derive my daily Strength, And there my comfort lies. 4 If once I wander from thy Path, I think upon my Ways, Then turn my feet to thy commands, And trust thy pard'ning Grace. 5 Now I am thine, for ever thine, O save thy Servant, Lord; Thou art my Shield, my Hiding-place; My Hope is in thy Word. 6 Thou hast inclin'd this Heart of mine Thy Statutes to fulfil; And thus till mortal Life shall end, Would I perform thy Will. Scripture: Psalm 119:57 Languages: English

Behold thy waiting Servant, Lord

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P119j (1766) Topics: Delight in Law of God Lyrics: 1 Behold thy waiting Servant, Lord, Devoted to thy Fear; Remember, and confirm thy Word, For all my Hopes are there. 2 Hast thou not writ Salvation down, And promis'd quick'ning Grace?

And yet thy Love delays. 3 Mine Eyes for thy Salvation fail; O bear thy Servant up; Nor let the scoffing Lips prevail, Who dare reproach my Hope. 4 Didst thou not raise my Faith, O Lord?

My Soul lies cleaving to the Dust

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P119p (1766) Topics: Delight in Law of God Lyrics: 1 My Soul lies cleaving to the Dust; Lord, give me Life divine; From vain Desires, and ev'ry Lust Turn off these Eyes of mine. 2 I need th' Influence of thy Grace To speed me in thy Way, Lest I should loiter in my Race, Or turn my Feet astray. 3 When sore Afflictions press me down, I need thy quick'ning Pow'rs; Thy Word that I have rested on, Shall help my heaviest Hours. 4 Are not thy Mercies sov'reign still, And thou a faithful GOD? Wilt thou not grant me warmer Zeal To run the heav'nly Road? 5 Does not my Heart thy Precepts love, And long to see thy Face! And yet how slow my Spirits move Without enliv'ning Grace! 6 Then shall I love thy Gospel more, And ne'er forget thy Word, When I have felt its quick'ning Pow'r, To draw me near the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 119:40 Languages: English

Imperfection of Nature, and Perfection of Scripture

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #221b (1740) Topics: Delight in Law of God First Line: Let all the Heathen Writers join Lyrics: 1 Let all the Heathen Writers join To form one perfect Book; Great GOD, if once compar'd with thine, How mean their Writings look! 2 Not the most perfect Rules they gave Could shew one Sin forgiv'n, Nor lead a Step beyond the Grave; But thine conduct to Heav'n. 3 I've seen an End to what we call Perfection here below; How short the Pow'rs of Nature fall, And can no further go! 4 Yet Men would fain be just with God By Works their Hands have wrought; But thy Commands, exceeding broad, Extend to ev'ry Thought. 5 In vain we boast Perfection here, While Sin defiles our Frame, And sinks our Virtues down so far, They scarce deserve the Name. 6 Our faith, and Love, and ev'ry Grace, Fall far below thy Word; But perfect Truth and Righteousness Dwell only with the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 119:96 Languages: English
