Wallace, C.M. [G]
| 1. |
1 Give Thou an answer when I call,
God of my righteousness;
Have mercy; hear my prayer; Thou hast
Enlarged me in distress,
Enlarged me in distress.
|
| 2. |
2 How long will ye, O sons of men,
Your empty follies prize?
How long my glory turn to shame?
How long seek after lies?
How long seek after lies?
|
| 3. |
3 But know that for Himself the LORD
The godly man doth choose.
The LORD, when I upon Him call,
To hear will not refuse,
To hear will not refuse.
|
| 4. |
4 O stand in awe, and see that ye
From every sin depart;
And even on your bed commune
In silence with your heart,
In silence with your heart.
|
| 5. |
5 Bring offerings of righteousness,
Your sacrifices just;
Seek ye the LORD with confidence,
And in Him put your trust,
And in Him put your trust.
|
| 6. |
6 "O who will show us any good?"
Is that which many say;
But of Thy countenance the light
LORD, lift on us for aye,
LORD, lift on us for aye.
|
| 7. |
7 Within my heart bestowed by Thee
More gladness I have found
Than they, ev'n then, when corn and wine
Did most with them abound,
Did most with them abound.
|
| 8. |
8 I will both lay me down in peace,
And quiet sleep will take.
Because Thou only me to dwell
In safety, LORD, dost make,
In safety, LORD, dost make.
