1 O GOD our Saviour, all our hearts
To thy obedience turn;
That, quench'd with our repenting tears,
Thy wrath no more may burn.

2 For why should'st thou be angry still,
And wrath so long retain?
Revive us, LORD, and let thy saints
Thy wonted comfort gain.

3 Thy gracious favor, LORD, display,
Which we have long implored:
And, for thy wondrous mercy's sake,
Thy wonted aid afford.

4 GOD's answer patiently I 'll wait;
For he with glad success,
If they no more to folly turn,
His mourning saints will bless.

5 To all that fear God's holy Name
His sure salvation 's near;
His glory in our happy land
For ever shall appear.

6 For mercy now with truth is join'd ;
And righteousness with peace,
Like kind companions, absent long,
With friendly arms embrace.

7 Truth from the earth shall spring, whilst
heaven

Shall streams of justice pour;

And God, from whom all goodness flows,
Shall endless plenty shower.

8 Before him righteousness shall march,
And his just paths prepare;
While we his holy steps pursue
With constant zeal and care.

1 TO my complaint, O LORD my God,
Thy gracious ear incline;
Hear me, distress'd and destitute
Of all relief but thine.

2 Do thou, O GOD, preserve my soul,
That does thy Name adore;

Thy servant keep, and him whose trust
Relies on thee, restore.

3 To me, who daily thee invoke,
Thy mercy, LORD, extend;

Refresh thy servant's soul, whose hopes
On thee alone depend.

4 Thou, LORD, art good, nor only good,
But prompt to pardon too;
Of plenteous mercy to all those
Who for thy mercy sue.

5 To my repeated humble prayer,
O LORD, attentive be;

When troubled, I on thee will call,
For thou wilt answer me.

6 Among the gods there 's none like thee,

O LORD, alone divine!

To thee as much inferior they,

As are their works to thine.

7 Therefore their great Creator, thee,
The nations shall adore;

Their long-misguided prayers and praise
To thy bless'd Name restore.

8 All shall confess thee great, and great
The wonders thou hast done;

Confess thee GOD, the GOD supreme,
Confess thee Gop alone.

9 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and I
From truth shall ne'er depart;

In rev'rence to thy sacred Name
Devoutly fix my heart.

Thy gracious ear incline.

Hear me, distress'd and destitute
Of all relief but thine.

That does thy Name adore:
Thy servant keep, and him whose trust
Relies on thee, restore.

Thy mercy, LORD, extend;

Refresh thy servant's soul, whose hopes
On thee alone depend.

10 Thee will I praise, O LORD my GOD,
Praise thee with heart sincere,
And to thy everlasting Name
Eternal trophies rear.

11 Thy boundless mercy shown to me
Transcends my power to tell;

For thou hast oft redeem'd my soul
From lowest deeps of hell.

12 And thou thy constant goodness didst
To my assistance bring:
Of patience, mercy, and of truth,
Thou everlasting spring!

From the lxxxvii. Psalm of David.

1 GOD'S temple crowns the holy mount,
The LORD there condescends to dwell;
His Sion's gates, in his account,

Our Israel's fairest tents excel:
Yea, glorious things of thee we sing,
O city of th' Almighty King!

2 Of honor'd Sion we aver,

Illustrious throngs from her proceed;
Th' Almighty shall establish her,
And shall enrol her holy seed:
Yea, for his people he shall count
The children of his favor'd mount.

3 He'll Sion find with numbers fill'd
Who celebrate his matchless praise;
Who, here in hallelujahs skill'd,

O Sion, seat of Israel's King,

Be mine to drink thy living spring!

1 GOD of my life, O LORD most high,
To thee by day and night I cry;
Vouchsafe my mournful voice to hear,
To my distress incline thine ear.
