Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P123 (1766) Lyrics: 1 O Thou whose Grace and Justice reign,
Enthron'd above the Skies,
To Thee our Hearts would tell their Pain,
To Thee we lift our Eyes.
2 As Servants watch their Master's Hand,
And fear the angry Stroke;
Or Maids before their Mistress stand,
And wait a peaceful Look:
3 So for our Sins we justly feel
Thy Discipline, O GOD;
Yet wait the gracious Moment still,
Till thou remove thy Rod.
4 Those that in Wealth and Pleasure live,
Our daily Groans deride,
And thy Delays of Mercy give
Fresh Courage to their Pride.
5 Our Foes insult us, but our Hope
In thy Compassion lies;
This Thought shall bear our Spirits up,
That GOD will not despise. Topics: Afflicted Submission to them; Pleading without repining; Resignation; Submission Scripture: Psalm 123 Languages: English
