Text: | Thus I Resolved Before the LORD |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | SALISBURY |
Composer: | Thomas Ravenscroft |
1 Thus I resolved before the LORD,
"Now will I watch my tongue;
lest I let slip one sinful word,
or do my neighbor wrong."
2 And if I'm e'er constrained to stay
with men of lives profane,
I'll set a double guard that day,
nor let my talk be vain.
3 I'll scarce allow my lips to speak
the pious thoughts I feel,
lest scoffers should th'occasion take
to mock my holy zeal.
4 Yet if some proper hour appear,
I'll not be overawed,
but let the scoffing sinners hear
that we can speak for God.
