2 Did ever thy propitious ear Or when did plaintive misery sigh, 3 Oppressed with grief and shame, dissolved In penitential tears, Thy goodness calms our anxious doubts, 4 From that blest source, propitious hope And sheds her soft and cheering beam 5 Our hearts adore thy mercy, Lord, 371. L. M. DODDRIDGE. Wanderers recovered. Ps. 119. 1 LORD, we have wandered from thy way, 2 Exposed to want, exposed to harm, 372. C. M. C. WESLEY. Vain Repentances. 1 TIMES without number have I prayed, This only once forgive; Relapsing when thy hand was stayed, 2 Yet now the kingdom of thy peace, Freedom from Sin and Misery in Heaven. 1 OUR sins, alas! how strong they be! And, like a violent sea, They break our duty, Lord, to thee, 2 The waves of trouble, how they rise! 3 There, to fulfil his sweet commands, 4 There shall we sit, and sing, and tell The wonders of his grace; Till heavenly raptures fire our hearts, DEVOUT ASPIRATIONS AND AFFECTIONS. 374. S. M. MONTGOMERY. The Lord's Prayer. 1 OUR heavenly Father, hear 2 Thy kingdom come; thy will 3 Our daily bread supply, 4 From dark temptation's power 5 Thine, then, forever be The sceptre, throne, and majesty 375. L. M. BIRMINGHAM COL. The Lord's Prayer. 1 FATHER, adored in worlds above! 2 Lord, make our daily wants thy care; 3 Evils beset us every hour; Thy kind protection we implore; 376. C. M. H. M. WILLIAMS. Habitual Devotion. 1 WHILE thec I seek, protecting Power! 2 Thy love the powers of thought bestowed; 3 In each event of life, how clear Each blessing to my soul more dear, 4 In every joy that crowns my days, My heart shall find delight in praise, 5 When gladness wings my favored hour, Thy love my thoughts shall fill; Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower, My soul shall meet thy will. 6 My lifted eye, without a tear, My steadfast heart shall know no fear;- 377. C. M. TATE & BRADY. Seeking the Presence of God. 1 CONTINUE, Lord, to hear my voice, In mercy all my prayers receive, 2 When us to seek thy glorious face 3 I trusted that my future life Should with thy love be crowned; 4 God's time with patient faith expect, With inward strength: do thou thy part, And leave to him the rest. |
