The Psalter ‎#236

236. Desires and Aspirations

1 By all whom Thou hast made
Be praise and worship paid
Thro' earth abroad;
Thy Name be glorified,
There is none great beside,
Matchless Thy works abide,
For Thou art God.

2 Help me Thy will to do,
Thy truth I will pursue,
Teach me to fear;
Give me the single eye
Thy Name to glorify,
O Lord, my God Most High,
With heart sincere.

3 How great Thy love appears
That bade death's gloomy fears
No more dismay;
O God, to anger slow,
Save me from ev'ry foe,
Thy loving-kindness show,
Thy truth display.

4 Show me Thy mercy true,
Thy servant's strength renew,
Deliv'rance send;
To me Thy goodness show,
Thy comfort, Lord bestow;
Let those that hate me know
Thou art my friend.
