The Psalms of David ‎#50b

50b. Prayer and Hope

1 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,
Nor frown my Soul away;
God of my Life, I flee to thee
In a distressing Day.

3 Should Friends and Kindred, near and dear,
Leave me to want, or die;
My GOD would make my Life his Care;
And all my Need supply.

4 My fainting Flesh had dy'd with Grief
Had not my Soul believ'd,
To see thy Grace provide Relief,
Nor was my Hope deceiv'd.

5 Wait on the Lord, ye trembling Saints,
And keep your Courage up;
He'll raise your Spirit when it faints,
And far exceeds your Hope.
