My God, accept my early Vows

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #P141 (1766) Lyrics: 1 My God, accept my early Vows, Like Morning Incense in thine House, And let my nightly Worship rise Sweet as the Ev'ning Sacrifice. 2 Watch o'er my Lips, and guard them, Lord, From ev'ry rash and heedless Word; Nor let my Feet incline to tread The guilty Path where Sinners lead. 3 O may the Righteous, when I stray, Smite, and reprove my wand'ring Way! Their gentle Words, like Ointment shed, Shall never bruise, but chear my Head. 4 When I behold them prest with Grief, I'll cry to Heav'n for their Relief; And by my warm Petitions prove How much I prize their faithful Love.

To GOD I made my Sorrows known

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #P142 (1766) Lyrics: 1 To GOD I made my Sorrows known, From GOD I sought Relief; In long Complaints before his Throne I pour'd out all my Grief. 2 My Soul was overwhelm'd with Woes, My Heart began to break; My GOD, who all my Burdens knows, He knows the Way I take. 3 On ev'ry Side I cast mine Eye, And found my Helpers gone, While Friends and Strangers past me by Neglected or unknown. 4 Then did I raise a louder Cry, And call'd thy Mercy near, "Thou art my Portion when I die; "Be thou my Refuge here." 5 Lord, I am brought exceeding low, Now let thine Ear attend, And make my Foes who vex me know I've an Almighty Friend. 6 From my sad Prison set me free, Then shall I praise thy Name, And holy Men shall join with me Thy Kindness to proclaim. Topics: God our only hope and help Scripture: Psalm 142 Languages: English

My righteous Judge, my gracious GOD

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #P143 (1766) Lyrics: 1 My righteous Judge, my gracious GOD, Hear when I spread my Hands abroad, And cry for Succour from thy Throne, O make thy truth and Mercy known! 2 Let Judgment not against me pass; Behold thy Servant pleads thy Grace: Should Justice call us to thy Bar, No Man alive is guiltless there. 3 Look down in Pity, Lord, and see The mighty Woes that burthen me; Down to the Dust my Life is brought, Like one long bury'd and forgot. 4 I dwell in Darkness and unseen: My Heart is desolate within: My Thoughts in musing Silence trace The ancient Wonders of thy Grace. 5 Thence I derive a Glimpse of Hope To bear my sinking Spirits up; I stretch my Hands to GOD again, And thirst like parched Lands for Rain. 6 For Thee I thirst, I pray, I mourn: When will thy smiling Face return? Shall all my Joys on Earth remove? And GOD, for ever hide his Love? 7 My GOD, thy long Delay to save Will sink thy Pris'ner to the Grave; My Heart grows faint, and dim mine Eye; Make haste to help before I die. 8 The Night is Witness to my Tears, Distressing Pains, distressing Fears; O might I hear thy Morning Voice, How would my weary'd Pow'rs rejoice! 9 In Thee I trust, to Thee I sigh, And lift my heavy Soul on high; For Thee sit waiting all the Day, And wear the tiresome Hours away. 10 Break off my Fetters, Lord, and show Which is the Path my Feet should go; If Snares and Foes beset the Road, I flee to hide me near my GOD. 11 Teach me to do thy holy Will, And lead me to thy heav'nly Hill; Let the good Spirit of thy Love Conduct me to thy Courts above. 12 Then shall my Soul no more complain, The Tempter then shall rage in vain; And Flesh, that was my Foe before, Shall never vex my Spirit more.
