Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #218b (1786) First Line: With my whole heart I've sought thy face Lyrics: 1 With my whole heart I've sought thy face,
Oh let me never stray
From thy commands, O God of grace,
Nor tread the sinner's way.
2 Thy word I've hid within my heart,
To keep my conscience clean,
And be an everlasting guard
From every rising sin.
3 I'm a companion of the saints,
Who fear and love the Lord;
My sorrows rise, my nature faints,
When men transgress thy word.
4 While sinners do thy gospel wrong,
My spirit stands in awe;
My soul abhors a lying tongue,
But loves thy righteous law.
5 My heart with sacred reverence hears
The threatenings of thy word;
My flesh with holy trembling fears
The judgments of the Lord.
6 My God, I long, I hope, I wait
For thy salvation still;
While thy whole law is my delight,
And I obey thy will. Topics: Counsel and Support form God; Law of God Delight in in; Persecutors punished; Conscience tender; Fears of God; Counsel and Support form God; Law of God Delight in in; Persecutors punished; Conscience tender; Fears of God Scripture: Psalm 119:174 Languages: English
