In his care confiding, I will sweetly sleep, for the Lord, my Savior, will in safety keep. Scripture: Psalm 4 Used With Tune: PENITENCE Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

The vanity of Balaam's wish

No wonder Balaam wish'd to share In such a happy death. 2 "Oh! let me die said he, The death the righteous do; When life is ended, let me be Found with the faithful few." 3 The force of truth, how great! When enemies confess, None but the righteous, whom they hate, A solid hope possess, 4 But Balaam's wish was vain, His heart was insincere: He thirsted for unrighteous gain, And sought a portion here. 5 He seem'd the Lord to know, And to offend him loth; But Mammon prov'd his overthrow, For none can serve them both. 6 May we, O Lord, most high, Warning from hence receive, If like the righteous we would die, To choose the life they live.
