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.) #230 (1786) First Line: Behold thy waiting servant, Lord Lyrics: 1 Behold thy waiting servant, Lord,
Devoted to thy fear;
Remember and confirm thy word,
For all my hopes are there.
2 Hast thou not writ salvation down,
And promis'd quickening grace?
Doth not my heart address thy throne?
And yet thy love delays.
3 Mine eyes for thy salvation fail;
Oh bear thy servant up;
Nor let the scoffing lips prevail,
Who dare reproach my hope.
4 Didst thou not raise my faith, O Lord?
Then let thy truth appear:
Saints shall rejoice in my reward,
And trust as well as fear. Topics: Counsel and Support form God; Law of God Delight in in; Persecutors punished; Counsel and Support form God; Law of God Delight in in; Persecutors punished Scripture: Psalm 119:123 Languages: English
