When the flesh inclines to ill, Let Thy Word prove stronger still. 6 And when my last hour is nearing, Oh, assure me ever more, As the chosen heir of heaven, Of that bliss for me in store, Greater far than tongue can tell, There, redeemed by Christ, to dwell.

Covered is my unrighteousness, Nor spot of guilt remains on me, While Jesus' blood, through earth and skies, Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries. 4 With faith I plunge me in this sea, Here is my hope, my joy, my rest; Hither, when hell assails, I flee, I look into my Saviour's breast; Away, sad doubt, and anxious fear! Mercy is all that's written there. 5 Though waves and storms go o'er my head, Though strength, and health, and friends be gone, Though joys be withered all and dead, Though every comfort be withdrawn, On this my steadfast soul relies Father, Thy mercy never dies. 6 Fixed on this ground will I remain, Though my heart fail, and flesh decay; This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth's foundations melt away; Mercy's full power I then shall prove, Loved with an everlasting love.

Let David, LORD, for evermore

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXXXII (1767) Topics: Description of The Church: Establishment and Steadfastness Lyrics: 1 Let David, LORD, for evermore A Place in thy Remembrance find; Let all the Sorrows he endur'd, Be ever present in thy Mind. 2 Remember what a solemn Oath To thee, his LORD supreme, he swore; How to the mighty GOD he vow'd, The GOD, whom Jacob's Sons adore. 3 I will not go into my House; I will not to my Bed ascend; No soft Repose shall close my Eyes, No Sleep my drowsy Eye-Lids bend; 4 'Till for the LORD's design'd Abode I mark the destin'd Ground; 'Till I a decent Place of Rest For Jacob's GOD have found. 5 Th'appointed Place with Shouts of Joy, At Euphrata at length we found; And made the Wood and neighb'ring Fields Our Songs of Triumph loud resound. 6 Oh! with due Rev'rence, let us then To his most bless'd Abode repair; And prostrate at his Footstool fall, and offer up our humble Pray'r. 7 Arise, O mighty LORD, and now Possess thy sacred Place of Rest; Be that not only with thy Ark, But with thy constant Presence bless'd. 8 Clothe thou thy Priests with Righteousness, And make thy happy Saints rejoice; And for thy Servant David's sake, Attend to thine Anointed's Voice. 9 GOD sware to David in his Truth, Nor shall his solemn Oath be vain, One of thy Offspring, after thee, Upon thy righteous Throne shall reign. 10 And if thy Seed my Cov'nant keep, And to my holy Laws submit, Their Children too upon thy Throne In Safety shall for ever sit. 11 For Sion does, in GOD's Esteem, All other happy Seats excell; His Place of everlasting Rest, The Place where he delights to dwell. 12 Her Store, says he, I will increase, Her Poor I will with Plenty bless; Her Saints shall shout aloud for Joy, Her Priests my saving Health confess. 13 'Tis there that David's Pow'r shall long Remain, in his successive Line; And my anointed Servant there, Shall with perpetual Glory shine. 14 The Faces of his vanquish'd Foes, Shame and Confusion shall o'erspread; Whilst, with confirm'd Success, his Crown Shall flourish on his Royal Head.

Tribunals stand erected there, Where Truth and Equity take place; There stand the Courts and Palaces Of holy David's Royal Race. 3 O, pray we then for Salem's Peace; For they shall ever prosp'rous be, (Thou holy City of our GOD!) Who true Affection bear to thee: May Peace within thy sacred Walls For evermore a Guest be found; With Plenty and Prosperity, May all thy Palaces be crown'd! 4 For my dear Brethren's sake, and Friends, To me no less than Brethren dear, I'll pray, may Peace in Salem's Tow'rs An everlasting Guest appear! My Soul shall ever seek thy Good, My Heart shall ever wish thee well; For Sion and the Temple's sake, Where GOD himself vouchsafes to dwell.
