Approach ye piously disposed
Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns, selected for the use of the Parish-Church of Boston #25 (1793) Lyrics: 1 Approach, ye piously dispos'd,
And my Instruction hear;
I'll teach you the true Discipline
Of a religious Fear.
2 Let him, who Length of Life desires,
And prosp'rous Days would see,
From sland'ring Language keep his Tongue,
His Lips from Falshood free.
3 The crooked Paths of Vice decline,
And Virtue's Ways pursue;
Establish Peace, where 'tis begun;
And where 'tis lost, renew.
4 The Lord from Heav'n, beholds the Just
With favourable Eyes;
And when distress'd, his gracious Ear
Is open to their Cries.
5 Deliv'rance to his Saints he gives,
When his Relief they crave:
He's nigh to heal the broken Heart,
And contrite Spirit save. Scripture: Psalm 34:11-18 Languages: English

Nahum Tate
1652 - 1715 Author of "Approach ye piously disposed" Nahum Tate was born in Dublin and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1672. He lacked great talent but wrote much for the stage, adapting other men's work, really successful only in a version of King Lear. Although he collaborated with Dryden on several occasions, he was never fully in step with the intellectual life of his times, and spent most of his life in a futile pursuit of popular favor. Nonetheless, he was appointed poet laureate in 1692 and royal historiographer in 1702. He is now known only for the New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696, which he produced in collaboration with Nicholas Brady. Poverty stricken throughout much of his life, he died in the Mint at Southwark, where he had taken refuge from his creditors, on August 12, 1715.
