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.) #58b (1786) First Line: To thee, O God of truth and love Lyrics: 1 To thee, O God of truth and love
My spirit I commit;
Thou hast redeem'd my soul from death,
And sav'd me from the pit.
2 Despair and comfort, hope and fear
Maintain'd a doubtful strife;
While sorrow, pain, and sin conspir'd
To take away my life.
3 "My time is in thy hand, I cried,
"Though I draw near the dust;"
Thou art the refuge where I hide,
The God in whom I trust.
4 Oh make thy reconciled face
Upon thy servant shine,
And save me for thy mercy's sake,
For I'm entirely thine.
Pause.
5 'Twas in my haste, my spirit said,
"I must despair and die,
I am cut off before thine eyes;"
But thou hast heard my cry.
6 Thy goodness how divinely free!
How sweet thy smiling face,
To those that fear thy majesty,
And trust thy promis'd grace.
7 Oh love the Lord, all ye his saints,
And sing his praises loud;
He'll bend his ear to your complaints,
And recompence the proud.
