According to thy promis'd grace

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.CXIX.Zain (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Church Hymn Book Lyrics: 49 According to thy promis'd grace, Thy favour, Lord, extend; Make good to me the word on which Thy servant's hopes depend. 50 That only comfort in distress Did all my griefs control; Thy word, when troubles hemm'd me round, Reviv'd my fainting soul. 51 Insulting foes did proudly mock, And all my hopes deride; Yet from thy law not all their scoffs Could make me turn aside. 52 Thy judgments then, of ancient date, I quickly call'd to mind, Till, ravish'd with such thoughts, my soul Did speedy comfort find. 53 Sometimes I stand amaz'd, like one With deadly horror struck, To think how all my sinful foes Have thy just laws forsook. 54 But I thy statutes and decrees My cheerful anthems made; Whilst through strange lands an desert wilds I like a pilgrim stray'd. 55 Thy name, that cheer'd my heart by day, Has fill'd my thoughts by night: I then resolv'd by thy just laws To guide my steps aright. 56 That peace of mind, which has my soul In deep distress sustain'd, By strict obedience to thy will I happily obtain'd. Scripture: Psalm 119:49-56 Languages: English
