Psalm 5

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 660 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear Lyrics: 1 Lord! in the morning thou shalt hear My voice ascending high; To thee will I direct my prayer, To thee lift up mine eye: 2 Up to the hills, where Christ has gone To plead for all his saints, Presenting at his Father's throne, Our songs and our complaints. 3 Thou art a God, before whose sight, The wicked shall not stand; Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight, Nor dwell at thy right hand. 4 But to thy house will I resort, To taste thy mercies there; I will frequent thy holy court, And worship in thy fear. 5 Oh, may thy Spirit guide my feet, In ways of righteousness, Make every path of duty straight, And plain before my face.

Psalm 122

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 302 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: How did my heart rejoice to hear Lyrics: 1 How did my heart rejoice to hear My friend devoutly say, "In Zion let us all appear, And keep the solemn day." 2 I love her gates, I love the road; The Church, adorned with grace, Stands like a palace built for God, To show his milder face. 3 Up to her courts, with joys unknown, The holy tribes repair; The Son of David holds his throne, And sits in judgment there. 4 Peace be within this sacred place, And joy a constant guest; With holy gifts and heavenly grace, Be her attendants blest. 5 My soul shall pray for Zion still, While life or breath remains; There my best friends, my kindred dwell, There God, my Saviour reigns.
