PSALM 119. Thirteenth Part. (C. M.) Holy Fear, and Tenderness of Conscience.
I
With my whole heart I've sought thy face,O let me never stray
From thy commands, O God of grace,
Nor tread the sinner's way.
II
Thy word I've hid within my heartTo keep my conscience clean,
And be an everlasting guard
From every rising sin.
III
I'm a companion of the saintsWho fear and love the Lord;
My sorrows rise, my nature faints,
When men transgress thy word.
VI
While sinners do thy gospel wrong,My spirit stands in awe;
My soul abhors a lying tongue,
But loves thy righteous law.
V
My heart with sacred reverence hearsThe threat'nings of thy word:
My flesh with holy trembling fears
The judgments of the Lord.
VI
My God, I long, I hope, I waitFor thy salvation still;
While thy whole law is my delight,
And I obey thy will.
