| Text: | Watching and Eager Longing |
| Tune: | ROBINSON |
| Composer: | Thomas Hastings |
1 I have followed truth and justice;
Leave me not in deep distress;
Be my help and my protection,
Let the proud no more oppress.
For Thy word and Thy salvation,
Lord, my eyes with longing fail;
Teach Thy statutes to Thy servants,
Let Thy mercy now prevail.
2 I am thine, O give me wisdom,
Make me know Thy truth, I pray;
Sinners have despised Thy statutes;
Now, O Lord, Thy pow'r display,
Lord, I love Thy good commandments
And esteem them more than gold;
All Thy precepts are most righteous,
Hating sin, to these I hold.
