Lord, how secure my conscience was

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Worship Law of God Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my conscience was, And felt no inward dread! I was alive without the law, And thought my sins were dead. 2 My hopes of heaven were firm and bright: But since the precept came With a convincing power and light, I find how vile I am. 3 My guilt appeared but small before, Till terribly I saw How perfect, holy, just, and pure, Was thy eternal law. 4 Then felt my soul the heavy load, My sins revived again; I had provoked a dreadful God, And all my hopes were slain. 5 My God, I cry with every breath For some kind power to save, To break the yoke of sin and death, And thus redeem the slave. Used With Tune: AVON

Scripture: Psalm 119:153

Open my eyes to read thy word, And see thy wonders there. 2 My heart was fashion'd by thy hand, My service is thy due, Oh make thy servant understand The duties he must do. 3 Since I'm a stranger here below, Let not thy path be hid, But mark the road my feet should go, And be my constant guide 4 When I confess'd my wandering ways, Thou heardst my soul complain; Grant me the teachings of thy grace, Or I shall stray again. 5 If God to me his statutes shew, And heavenly truth impart, His work forever I'll pursue, His law shall rule my heart. 6 This was my comfort when I bore Variety of grief; It made me learn thy word the more, And fly to that relief. 7 [In vain the proud deride me now; I'll ne'er forget thy law, Nor let that blessed gospel go, Whence all my hopes I draw. 8 When I have learn'd my Father's will, I'll teach the world his ways; My thankful lips, inspir'd with zeal, Shall sing aloud his praise.] Scripture: Psalm 119:171
