Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #82 (1786) First Line: Judge me, O God, and plead my cause Lyrics: 1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause,
Against a sinful race;
From vile oppression and deceit
Secure me by thy grace.
2 On thee my stedfast hope depends,
And am I left to mourn?
To sink in sorrows, and in vain
Implore thy kind return?
3 Oh send thy light to guide my feet,
And bid thy truth appear,
Conduct me to thy holy hill,
And taste thy mercies there.
4 Then to thy altar, oh my God,
My joyful feet shall rise,
And my triumphant songs shall praise
The God that rules the skies.
5 Sink not, my soul, beneath thy fear,
Nor yield to weak despair;
For I shall live to praise the Lord,
And bless his guardian care. Topics: Christ the King, and the church his spouse; Christ the King, and the church his spouse Scripture: Psalm 43 Languages: English
