Are met in thee tonight.

Is perfect, the soul to restore;
His truth makes the simple most wise,
The truth that is sure evermore.

Rejoicing the heart and the mind;
And all His commandments are pure,
Enlight'ning the eyes of the blind.
3 The fear of the Lord is most clean,
Forever unmoved it has stood;
His judgments are perfectly true,
In all things most righteous and good.
4 Such treasure no gold can supply,
Such sweetness no honey afford;
Their warnings none heed and obey
But find most abundant reward.
5 O who can his errors discern?
From hidden faults, Lord, keep me free;
Let pride never reign in my heart,
And clear of great sin I shall be.
6 I pray that my words and my thoughts
May all with Thy precepts accord,
And ever be pleasing to Thee,
My rock, my Redeemer, my Lord. Scripture: Psalm 19 Languages: English Tune Title: ESKRIDGE

The Folly of Unbelief
Hymnal: The Psalter #146 (1912) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Character New Birth Essential to Good First Line: Fools in their hearts have said Lyrics: 1 Fools in their heart have said,
There is no God of might;
Corrupt are they and base their deeds,
In evil they delight.
2 God looked from heav'n above
On all the human race,
To see if any understood,
If any sought His face.
3 They all are gone aside,
Corruption doth abound;
There is not one that doeth good,
Not even one is found.
4 These men of evil deeds,
Will they no knowledge gain,
Who feed upon my people's woes,
And prayer to God disdain?
5 The day is drawing nigh
When they shall fear and quail,
For God shall scatter and destroy
Those who His saints assail.
6 Yea, God will put to shame
And make them flee away,
For He will cast them off in wrath
And fill them with dismay.
7 O would that Israel's help
Were out of Zion come!
O would that God might early bring
His captive people home!
8 When God from distant lands
His exiled ones shall bring,
His people shall exultant be,
And gladly they shall sing.
