Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #267b (1786) Topics: Morning psalm; Morning psalm First Line: My God, accept my early vows Lyrics: 1 My God, accept my early vows,
Like morning incense in thine house,
And let my nightly worship rise
Sweet as the evening sacrifice.
2 Watch o’er my lips, and guard them, Lord,
From every rash and heedless word;
Nor let my feet incline to tread
The guilty path where sinners lead.
3 Oh may the righteous, when I stray,
Smite and reprove my wandering way!
Their gentle words, like ointment shed,
Shall never bruise, but cheer my head.
4 When I behold them prest with grief,
I’ll cry to heaven for their relief;
And by my warm petitions prove
How much I prize their faithful love. Scripture: Psalm 141:2-5 Languages: English
Watchfulness and Brotherly Love
