2. Let not Thy face be hid from me, God of my life! I fly to Thee 3. Should friends and kindred, near and dear, Leave me to want, or die; My God would make my life His care, 4. My fainting flesh had died with grief, To see Thy grace provide relief- 5. Wait on the Lord, ye trembling saints! He'll raise your spirit when it faints, 182. C. M. WATTS. 1. How rich Thy favors, God of grace! Full as the ocean they are poured, 2. He to eternal glory calls, And leads the wondrous way To His own palace, where He reigns 3. The songs of everlasting years That mercy shall attend, Which leads, through sufferings of an hour, To joys that never end. DODDRIDGE. 3. Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Trust God; who will employ His aid for thee, and change these sighs 4. God of my strength, how long shall I, 5. I sigh to think of happier days, When Thou, O Lord! wast nigh; 6. Why restless, why cast down, my soul? TATE AND BRADY. 189. C. M. 1. GREAT Ruler of all nature's frame, 2. Wide as they sweep their sounding way, 3. Thy mercy tempers every blast 4. Those gentle whispers let me hear, DODDRIDGE. 2. Thy counsels, Lord! shall guide my feet Through this dark wilderness: Thy hand conduct me near Thy seat, 3. Were I in heaven without my God, 4. What if the springs of life were broke, God is my soul's eternal rock, The strength of every saint. 5. But to draw near to Thee, my God! My tongue shall sound Thy works abroad, WATTS. |
