Lord, I esteem thy judgments right

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #104 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Meditation Lyrics: Lord, I esteem thy judgments right, And all thy statutes just; Thence I maintain a constant fight With every flatt'ring lust. Thy precepts often I survey; I keep thy law in sight, Through all the business of the day, To form my actions right. My heart in midnight silence cries, "How sweet thy comforts be!" My thoughts in holy wonder rise, And bring their thanks to thee. And when my spirit drinks her fill At some good word of thine, Not mighty men that share the spoil Have joys compared to mine. Scripture: Psalm 119 Languages: English

The Morning of the Lord's Day

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #107 (1740) Topics: Meditation First Line: Early, my GOD, without Delay Lyrics: 1 Early, my GOD, without Delay, In haste to seek thy Face; My thirsty Spirit faints away Without thy chearing Grace. 2 So Pilgrims on the scorching Sand, Beneath a burning Sky, Long for a cooling Stream at Hand, And they must drink or die. 3 I've seen thy Glory and thy Pow'r Thro' all thy Temples shine; My GOD, repeat that heav'nly Hour, That Vision so divine. 4 Not all the Blessings of a Feast Can please my Soul so well, As when thy richer Grace I taste, And in thy Presence dwell. 5 Not Life itself, with all her Joys, Can my best Passions move; Or rise so high my chearful Voice, As thy forgiving Love. 6 Thus till my last expiring Day, I'll bless my GOD and King; Thus will I lift my Hands to pray, And tune my Lips to sing. Scripture: Psalm 63:1-5 Languages: English

Scripture: Psalm 63:6-10 Languages: English

Longing after GOD; or, The Lives of GOD better than Life

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #108b (1740) Topics: Meditation First Line: Great GOD, indulge my humble Claim Lyrics: 1 Great GOD, indulge my humble Claim, Thou art my Hope, my Joy, my Rest; The Glories that compose thy Name Stand all engag'd to make me blest. 2 Thou Great and Good, thou Just and Wise, Thou art my Father and my GOD; And I am thine by sacred Ties; Thy Son, thy Servant, bought with Blood 3 With Heart, and Eyes, and lifted Hands, For Thee I long, to Thee I look, As Travellers in thirsty Lands Pant for the cooling Water-brook. 4 With early Feet I love t' appear Among thy Saints, and seek thy Face; Oft have I seen thy Glory there, And felt the Pow'r of Sov'reign Grace. 5 Not Fruits nor Wines that tempt our Taste, Nor all the Joys our Senses know, Could make me so divinely blest, Or raise my chearful Passion so. 6 My Life itself without thy Love No Taste of Pleasure could afford; 'Twould but a tiresome Burden prove, If I were banish'd from the Lord. 7 Amidst the wakeful Hours of Night, When busy Cares afflict my Head, One Thought of Thee gives new Delight, And adds Refreshment to my Bed. 8 I'll lift my Hands, I'll raise my Voice, While I have Breath to pray or praise; This Work shall make my Heart rejoice, And spend the Remnant of my Days. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English

Seeking GOD

I follow where my Father leads, And he supports my Steps. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English
