Nor let that blessed gospel go,
Whence all my hopes I draw.

My thankful lips, inspir'd with zeal,
Shall sing aloud his praise.] Scripture: Psalm 119:171 Languages: English

Declares its maker God,
And all the starry works on high
Proclaim his power abroad.

Their general voice is known;
They shew the wonders of his hand,
And orders of his throne.

Here he reveals his word;
We are not left to nature’s voice
To bid us know the Lord.

He puts his gospel in our hands,
Where our salvation lies.

His truth without deceit,
His promises forever sure,
And his rewards are great.

Affords so much delight;
Nor gold that has the furnace pass'd
So much allures the sight.

Thy glory to proclaim,
Accept the praise, my God, my King,
In my Redeemer’s name.] Scripture: Psalm 19 Languages: English

God's Word most excellent; Or, Sincerity and Watchfulness

Begins his glorious way;
His beams through all the nations run,
And life and light convey.
2 But where the gospel comes
It spreads diviner light,
It calls dead sinners from their tombs,
And gives the blind their sight.
3 How perfect is thy word!
And all thy judgements just,
Forever sure thy promise, Lord,
And men securely trust.
4 My gracious God, how plain
Are thy directions given!
Oh may I never read in vain,
But find the path to heaven!
Pause.
5 I heard thy word with love,
And I would fain obey:
Send thy good spirit from above
To guide me lest I stray.
6 Oh who can ever find
The errors of his ways?
Yet with a bold presumptuous mind
I would not dare transgress.
7 Warn me of every sin,
Forgive my secret faults,
And cleanse this guilty soul of mine,
Whose crimes exceed my thoughts.
8 While with my heart and tongue
I spread thy praise abroad;
Accept the worship and the song,
My Saviour and my God. Scripture: Psalm 19 Languages: English
