Hymnal: The Psalms of David #223 (1740) Topics: Spirit his teaching desired First Line: Thy Mercies fill the Earth, O Lord Lyrics: 1 Thy Mercies fill the Earth, O Lord,
How good thy Works appear!
Open mine Eyes to read thy Word,
And see thy Wonders there.
2 My Heart was fashion'd by thy Hand,
My Service is thy Due;
O make thy Servant understand
The Duties he must do.
3 Since I'm a Stranger here below,
Let not thy Path be hid;
But mark the Road my Feet should go,
And be my constant Guide
4 When I confess'd my wand'ring Ways,
Thou heard'st my Soul complain;
Grant me the teachings of thy Grace,
Or I shall stray again.
5 If GOD to me his Statutes shew,
And heav'nly Truths impart,
His Works for Ever I'll pursue,
His Law shall rule my Heart.
6 This was my Comfort when I bore
Variety of Grief;
It made me learn thy Word the more,
And fly to that Relief.
7 [In vain the Proud deride me now;
I'll ne'er forget thy Law,
Nor let that blessed Gospel go
Whence all my Hopes I draw.
8 When I have learn'd my Father's Will,
I'll teach the World his Ways;
My thankful Lips inspir'd with Zeal,
Shall loud pronounce his Praise.]
