The Psalms of David ‎#226

226. Holy Fear, and Tenderness of Conscience

1 With my whole Heart I've sought thy Face,
O let me never stray
From thy Commands, O GOD of Grace,
Nor tread the Sinners Way.

2 Thy Word I've hid within my Heart,
To keep my Conscience clean,
And be an everlasting Guard
From ev'ry rising Sin.

3 I'm a Companion of the Saints
Who fear and Love the Lord;
My Sorrows rise, my Nature faints,
When Men transgress thy Word.

4 While Sinners do thy Gospel wrong
My Spirit stands in Awe;
My Soul abhors a lying Tongue,
But loves thy righteous Law.

5 My heart with sacred Rev'rence hears
The Threatnings of thy Word;
My Flesh with holy Trembling fears
The Judgments of the Lord.

6 My GOD, I long, I hope, I wait,
For thy Salvation still;
While thy whole Law is my delight,
And I obey thy Will.
