When I survey life's varied scene
Princes have persecuted me
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: SCHIN THE TWENTH-FIRST PART
161 Princes have persecuted me,
although no cause they saw:
but still of thy most holy word
my heart doth stand in awe.
162 I at thy word rejoice, as one
of spoil that finds great store.
163 They law I love; but lying all
I hate and do abhor.
164 Seven times a-day it is my care
to give due praise to thee;
because of all thy judgments, Lord,
which righteous ever be.
165 Great peace have they who love thy law;
offence they shall have none
166 I hoped for thy salvation, Lord,
and thy commands have done.
167 My soul thy testimonies pure
observed carefully;
on them my heart is set, and them
I love exceedingly.
168 Thy testimonies and thy laws
I kept with special care;
for all my works and ways each one
before thee open are. Used With Tune: SOUTHWOLD

Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat

Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat
In streets, and op'nings of the gates
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In streets, and op’nings of the gates,
where pours the busy crowd,
thus heav’nly Wisdom lifts her voice,
and cries to men aloud:
2 How long, ye scorners of the truth,
scornful will ye remain?
How long shall fools their folly love,
and hear my words in vain?
3 O turn, at last, at my reproof!
and, in that happy hour,
his bless’d effusions on your heart
my Spirit down shall pour.
4 But since so long, with earnest voice,
to you in vain I call
since all my counsels and reproofs
thus ineffectual fall;
5 The time will come, when humbled low,
in Sorrow’s evil day,
your voice by anguish shall be taught,
but taught too late, to pray.
6 When, like the whirlwind, o’er the deep
comes Desolation’s blast;
pray’rs then extorted shall be vain,
the hour of mercy past.
7 The choice you made has fix'd your doom;
for this is Heav’n’s decree,
that with the fruits of what he sow'd
the sinner fill'd shall be.
