To Thee, before the dawning Light
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P119b (1766) Topics: Delight in Law of God Lyrics: 1 To Thee, before the dawning Light,
My gracious GOD I pray;
I meditate thy Name by Night,
And keep thy Law by Day.
2 My Spirit faints to see thy Grace,
Thy Promise bears me up;
And while Salvation long delays,
Thy Word supports my Hope.
3 Seven Times a Day I lift my Hands,
And pay my Thanks to Thee.
Thy righteous Providence demands
Repeated Praise from me.

Which I so justly fear;
Uphold my Life, uphold my Hopes,
Not let my Shame appear.

Nor let the Proud oppress;
But make thy waiting Servant see
The Shinings of thy Face.
4 My Eyes with Expectation fail,
My Heart within me cries,
"When will the Lord his Truth fulfil,
"And make my Comforts rise."

To those that love thy Name.

Thou art my Portion, O my GOD
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P119c (1766) Topics: Delight in Law of God Lyrics: 1 Thou art my Portion, O my GOD;
Soon as I know thy Way,
My Heart makes Haste t'obey thy word,
And suffers no Delay.

And glory in my Choice;
Not all the Riches of the Earth
Could make me so rejoice.
3 The Testimonies of thy Grace
I set before my Eyes;
Thence I derive my daily Strength,
And there my Comfort lies.
4 If once I wander from thy Path,
I think upon my Ways,
Then turn my Feet to thy Commands,
And trust thy pard'ning Grace.
5 Now I am thine, for ever thine,
O save thy Servant, Lord;
Thou art my Shield, my Hiding-place;
My Hope is in thy Word.
6 Thou hast inclin'd this Heart of mine
Thy Statutes to fulfil;
And thus till mortal Life shall end,
Would I perform thy Will. Scripture: Psalm 119:30 Languages: English
Thou art my Portion, O my GOD
Let all the Heathen Writers join
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P119g (1766) Topics: Delight in Law of God Lyrics: 1 Let all the Heathen Writers join
To form one perfect Book;
Great GOD, if once compar'd with thine,
How mean their Writings look.
2 Not the most perfect Rules they gave
Could shew one Sin forgiv'n,
Nor lead a Step beyond the Grave;
But thine conduct to Heav'n.
3 I've seen an End to what we call
Perfection here below;
How short the Pow'rs of Nature fall,
And can no further go.
4 Yet Men would fain be just with God,
By Works their Hands have wrought;
But thy Commands, exceeding broad,
Extend to ev'ry Thought.
5 In vain we boast Perfection here,
While Sin defiles our Frame;
And sinks our Virtues down so far,
They scarce deserve the Name.
6 Our faith, and Love, and ev'ry Grace,
Fall far below thy Word;
But perfect Truth and Righteousness
Dwell only with the Lord.
Scripture: Psalm 119:96 Languages: English
