Great God indulge my humble claim
Hymnal: A Manual of Devotion for Soldiers and Sailors #73 (1847) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Midnight thoughts Languages: English
Great God indulge my humble claim
O how I love thy holy law!
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #103 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Midnight thoughts Lyrics:
O how I love thy holy law!
'Tis daily my delight;
And thence my meditations draw
Divine advice by night.
My waking eyes prevent the day
To meditate thy word;
My soul with longing melts away
To hear thy gospel, Lord.
How doth thy word my heart engage!
How well employ my tongue!
And in my tiresome pilgrimage,
Yields me a heav'nly song.
Am I a stranger or at home,
'Tis my perpetual feast;
Not honey dropping from the comb
So much allures the taste.
No treasures so enrich the mind;
Nor shall thy word be sold
For loads of silver well refined,
Nor heaps of choicest gold.
When nature sinks, and spirits droop,
Thy promises of grace
Are pillars to support my hope,
And there I write thy praise.
Scripture: Psalm 119 Languages: English
O how I love thy holy law!
The Morning of the Lord's Day
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #107 (1740) Topics: Midnight thoughts First Line: Early, my GOD, without Delay Lyrics: 1 Early, my GOD, without Delay,
In haste to seek thy Face;
My thirsty Spirit faints away
Without thy chearing Grace.
2 So Pilgrims on the scorching Sand,
Beneath a burning Sky,
Long for a cooling Stream at Hand,
And they must drink or die.
3 I've seen thy Glory and thy Pow'r
Thro' all thy Temples shine;
My GOD, repeat that heav'nly Hour,
That Vision so divine.
4 Not all the Blessings of a Feast
Can please my Soul so well,
As when thy richer Grace I taste,
And in thy Presence dwell.
5 Not Life itself, with all her Joys,
Can my best Passions move;
Or rise so high my chearful Voice,
As thy forgiving Love.
6 Thus till my last expiring Day,
I'll bless my GOD and King;
Thus will I lift my Hands to pray,
And tune my Lips to sing.
Scripture: Psalm 63:1-5 Languages: English
The Morning of the Lord's Day
Seeking GOD
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #109 (1740) Topics: Midnight thoughts First Line: My God, permit my Tongue Lyrics: 1 My GOD, permit my Tongue
This Joy, to call Thee mine;
And let my early Cries prevail
To taste thy Love divine.
2 My thirsty fainting Soul
Thy Mercy doth implore;
Not Travellers in Desert Lands
Can pant for Water more.
3 Within thy Churches, Lord,
I long to find my Place;
Thy Pow'r and Glory to behold,
And feel thy quick'ning Grace.
4 For Life without thy Love
No Relish can afford;
No Joy can be compar'd with this,
To serve and please the Lord.
5 To Thee I'll lift my Hands,
And praise Thee while I live;
Not the rich Dainties of a Feast
Such Food and Pleasure give.
6 In wakeful Hours at Night
I call my GOD to Mind;
I think how wise thy Counsels are,
And all thy Dealings kind.
7 Since thou hast been my Help,
To thee my Spirit flies,
And on thy watchful Providence
My chearful Hope relies.
8 The Shadow of thy Wings
My Soul in Safety keeps!
I follow where my Father leads,
And he supports my Steps. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English

Delight in Scripture; or, The Word of God dwelling in us
Let Pharisees of high esteem
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #316 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Midnight thoughts Lyrics:
Let Pharisees of high esteem
Their faith and zeal declare,
All their religion is a dream,
If love be wanting there.
Love suffers long with patient eye,
Nor is provoked in haste;
She lets the present injury die,
And long forgets the past.
[Malice and rage, those fires of hell,
She quenches with her tongue;
Hopes and believes, and thinks no ill,
Though she endure the wrong.]
[She nor desires nor seeks to know
The scandals of the time;
Nor looks with pride on those below,
Nor envies those that climb.]
She lays her own advantage by
To seek her neighbor's good;
So God's own Son came down to die,
And bought our lives with blood.
Love is the grace that keeps her power
In all the realms above;
There faith and hope are known no more,
But saints for ever love.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:2-7 Languages: English
Let Pharisees of high esteem
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #319 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Midnight thoughts Lyrics:
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews,
And nobler speech, that angels use,
If love be absent, I am found,
Like tinkling brass, an empty sound.
Were I inspired to preach and tell
All that is done in heav'n and hell;
Or could my faith the world remove,
Still I am nothing without love.
Should I distribute all my store
To feed the bowels of the poor,
Or give my body to the flame,
To gain a martyr's glorious name;
If love to God and love to men
Be absent, all my hopes are vain;
Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal,
The work of love can e'er fulfil.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Languages: English
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews
