Prayer and Praise for eminent Deliverance

Ye humble souls that use to pray, Come, help my lips to praise. 2 Sing to the honuor of his name, How a poor sufferer cried, Nor was his hope expos'd to shame, Nor was his suit denied. 3 When threatening sorrows round me stood, And endless fears arose, Like the loud billows of a flood, Redoubling all my woes. 4 I told the Lord my sore distress, With heavy groans and tears; He gave my sharpest torments ease, And silenc'd all my fears. Pause. 5 [Oh sinners, come and taste his love, Come, learn his pleasant ways, And let your own experience prove The sweetness of his grace. 6 He bids his angels pitch their tents Round where his children dwell; What ills their heavenly care prevents No earthly tongue can tell.] 7 [Oh love the Lord, ye saints of his; His eye regards the just. How richly bless'd their portion is, Who make the Lord their trust! 8 Young lions pinch'd with hunger roar, And famish in the wood; But God supplies his holy poor With every needful good.] Scripture: Psalm 34:1-10 Languages: English
