2 But there's a brighter world on high, Thy palace, Lord, above the sky: Who shall ascend that blest abode, And dwell so near his Maker, God? 3 He that abhors and fears to sin, Whose heart is pure, whose hands are clean: To give his saints a blest abode 1 PSALM 25. First Part. S. M. Let not my foes that seek my blood 2 Sin, and the pow'rs of hell Lord, make me know thy cov'nant well, 3 From the first dawning light, "Till the dark ev'ning rise, For thy salvation, Lord, I wait, With ever longing eyes. 4 Remember all thy grace, And lead me in thy truth; Forgive the sins of riper days, And follies of my youth. 5 The Lord is just and kind, The meek shall learn his ways; And ev'ry humble sinner find The blessings of his grace. 6 For his own goodness' sake, He saves my soul from shame; He pardons (though my guilt be great) Thro' my Redeemer's name. 1 PSALM 25. Second Part. S. M. Divine Instruction. WHERE shall the man be found, That fears t' offend his God; That loves the gospel's joyful sound, 2 The Lord shall make him know 3 The dealings of his hand, With such as in his cov'nant stand, 4 Their souls shall dwell at ease Their seed shall taste the promises 1 PSALM 25. Third Part. S. M: Distress of Soul. MINE eyes and my desire Are ever to the Lord : I love to plead his promises, 2 Turn, turn thee to my soul; 3 When shall the sov'reign grace, 5 With ev'ry morning light 6 Behold the hosts of hell, Against my life they rise, and join 7 O keep my soul from death, 8 With humble faith I wait, Of Israel it shall ne'er be said, 1 PSALM 26. L. M. Self-Examination: or, Evidences of grace. JUDGE me, O Lord, and prove my ways, try my reins, and try my heart; My faith upon thy promise stays, The temple where thine honours dwell; 1 PSALM 27. First Part. C. M. THE God is my strength; nor will I fear 2 One privilege my heart desires; Within th' assemblies of thy saints, 3 There shall I offer my requests, Shall hear thy messages of love, 4 When troubles rise, and storms appear, 5 Now shall my head be lifted high 1 And songs of joy and victory PSALM 27. Second Part. C. M. SOON as I heard my Father say, "Ye children, seek my grace;" My heart reply'd, without delay, "I'll seek my Father's face. 2 Let not thy face be hid from me, God of my life, I fly to thee 3 Should friends and kindred, near and dear, Leave me to want, or die; My God would make my life his care, 4 My fainting flesh had dy'd with grief; Thy grace would soon provide relief; 5 Wait on the Lord, ye trembling saints, He'll raise your spirit when it faints, |
