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.) #33 (1786) First Line: I set the Lord before my face Lyrics: 1 "I set the Lord before my face,
"He bears my courage up;
"My heart and tongue their joys express,
"My flesh shall rest in hope.
2 "My spirit, Lord, thou wilt not leave
"Where souls departed are;
"Nor quit my body to the grave
"To see corruption there.
3 "Thou wilt reveal the path of life,
"And raise me to thy throne;
"Thy courts immortal pleasure give,
"Thy presence joys unknown.
4 [Thus, in the name of Christ the Lord,
The holy David sung,
And Providence fulfils the word
Of his prophetic tongue.
5 Jesus, whom every saint adores,
Was crucify'd and slain:
Behold the tomb its prey restores,
Behold he lives again.
6 When shall my feet arise and stand
On heaven's eternal hills?
There sits the Son at God's right hand,
And there the Father smiles.] Topics: Christ his all-sufficiency; Christ his death and resurrection; Comfort and Support in God; Company of saints; Confession of our poverty; Counsel and Support form God; Courage in death; Death and resurrection of Christ; Death courage in it; Evidence of Grace; God all-sufficient; Good Works profit Man, not God; Grace without merit; Hope of resurrection; Merit disclaimed; Poverty confessed; Resurrection and death of Christ; Resurrection of the saints; Saints the best company; Christ his all-sufficiency; Christ his death and resurrection; Comfort and Support in God; Company of saints; Confession of our poverty; Counsel and Support form God; Courage in death; Death and resurrection of Christ; Death courage in it; Evidence of Grace; God all-sufficient; Good Works profit Man, not God; Grace without merit; Hope of resurrection; Merit disclaimed; Poverty confessed; Resurrection and death of Christ; Resurrection of the saints; Saints the best company Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English
