Pause. 6 Lord, since in my advancing Age I've acted on Life's busy Stage, Thy Thoughts of Love to me surmount The Pow'r of Numbers to recount. 7 I could survey the Ocean o'er, And count each Sand that makes the Shore, Before my swiftest Thoughts could trace The num'rous Wonders of thy Grace. 8 These on my Heart are still imprest, With these I give my Eyes to Rest; And at my waking Hour I find GOD and his Love possess my Mind.

Pause 6 Lord, where shall guilty Souls retire, forgotten and unknown? In Hell they meet thy dreadful Fire, In Heav'n thy glorious Throne. 7 Should I suppress my vital Breath, To 'scape the Wrath divine, Thy Voice would break the Bars of Death, And make the Grave resign. 8 If, wing'd with Beams of Morning Light, I fly beyond the West, Thy Hand, which must support my Flight, Would soon betray my Rest. 9 If o'er my Sins I think to draw The Curtains of the Night, Those flaming Eyes that guard thy Law Would turn the Shades to Light. 10 The Beams of Noon, the Midnight Hour, Are both alike to Thee: O may I ne'er provoke that Pow'r From which I cannot flee.

Say, Lord, and why such looks of love Upon such worthless things? Mortals, be dumb; what creature dares Dispute his aweful will? Ask no account of his affairs, But tremble and be still. Just like his nature is his grace, All sovereign and all free; Great God, how searchless are thy ways, How deep thy judgments be! Scripture: Psalm 138:6 Languages: English
