A pure temple I would be, Wholly dedicate to Thee. Used With Tune: PLEYEL'S HYMN

Scripture: Psalm 38

Psalm 35 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: Enemies prayed for First Line: Behold the love, the gen'rous love Lyrics: Behold the love, the gen'rous love, That holy David shows; Hark, how his sounding bowels move To his afflicted foes! When they are sick his soul complains, And seems to feel the smart; The spirit of the gospel reigns, And melts his pious heart. How did his flowing tears condole As for a brother dead! And fasting mortified his soul, While for their life he prayed. They groaned, and cursed him on their bed, Yet still he pleads and mourns; And double blessings on his head The righteous God returns. O glorious type of heav'nly grace! Thus Christ the Lord appears; While sinners curse, the Savior prays, And pities them with tears. He, the true David, Isr'el's King, Blest and beloved of God, To save us rebels, dead in sin, Paid his own dearest blood. Scripture: Psalm 35:12-14

Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: Enemies prayed for; Enemies prayed for First Line: God of mercy and my praise Lyrics: 1 God of my mercy and my praise, Thy glory is my song; Though sinners speak against thy grace With a blaspheming tongue. 2 When in the form of mortal man Thy Son on earth was found; With cruel slanders false and vain, They compass'd him around. 3 Their mis'ries his compassion move, Their peace he still pursu'd; They render hatred for his love, And evil for his good. 4 Their malice rag'd without a cause, Yet with his dying breath He pray'd for murd'rers on his cross, And bless'd his foes in death. 5 Lord, shall thy bright example shine In vain before my eyes; Give me a soul a-kin to thine, To love mine enemies. 6 The Lord shall on my side engage, And in my Saviour's name I shall defeat their pride and rage, Who slander and condemn. Scripture: Psalm 109:31

Make every Path of Duty strait, And plain before my Face. Pause. 6 My watchful Enemies combine To tempt my Feet astray; They flatter with a base Design, To make my Soul their Prey. 7 Lord crush the Serpent in the Dust, And all his Plots destroy; While those that in thy Mercy trust, For ever shout for Joy. 8 The Men that love and fear thy Name Shall see their Hopes fulfill'd; The mighty GOD will compass them With Favour as a Shield. Scripture: Psalm 5

The Vanity of Man as mortal

Appears in 262 hymnals Topics: Health prayed for; Health prayed for First Line: Teach me the measure of my days Lyrics: 1 Teach me the measure of my days, Thou maker of my frame; I would survey life's narrow space, And learn how frail I am. 2 A span is all that we can boast, An inch or two of time: Man is but vanity and dust In all his flower and prime. 3 See the vain race of mortals move Like shadows o'er the plain; They rage and strive, desire and love, But all the noise is vain. 4 Some walk in honour's gaudy show, Some dig for golden ore, They toil for heirs, they know not who, And strait are seen no more. 5 What should I wish or wait for then From creatures, earth and dust? They make our expectations vain, And disappoint our trust. 6 Now I forbid my carnal hope, My fond desires recal; I give my mortal interest up, And make my God my all. Scripture: Psalm 39:4-7

Appears in 100 hymnals Topics: Health prayed for; Health prayed for First Line: God of my life, look gently down Lyrics: 1 God of my life, look gently down, Behold the pains I feel; But I am dumb before thy throne, Nor dare dispute thy will. 2 Diseases are thy servants, Lord, They come at thy command; I'll not attempt a murmuring word, Against thy chastening hand. 3 Yet I may plead with humble cries, Remove thy sharp rebukes; My strength consumes, my spirit dies, Through thy repeated strokes. 4 Crush'd as a moth beneath thy hand, We moulder to the dust; Our feeble powers can ne'er withstand, And all our beauty's lost. 5 I'm but a stranger here below, As all my fathers were; May I be well prepar'd to go, When I the summons hear! 6 But if my life be spared a while Before my last remove, Thy praise shall be my business still, And I'll declare thy love. Scripture: Psalm 39:9-13
