[Fear of God before mine eyes]
Thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer, &c.
—xv. 4.
Fear of God before mine eyes
Lifts to Him my praying heart;
But when I His fear despise,
From His footstool I depart;
When I lose my gracious care,
Only then I cease from prayer.
Lifts to Him my praying heart;
But when I His fear despise,
From His footstool I depart;
When I lose my gracious care,
Only then I cease from prayer.

Father, to my heart appear
Pleased and smiling in Thy Son;
Conscious of Thy presence near,
Bow'd and humbled at Thy throne,
Then I in Thy sight shall stay,
Always fear, and always pray.
