Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CIII (1767) Topics: Prayers Of a Sinner to obtain Forgiveness of Sins; Thanksgivings Forgivness of Sins Lyrics: 1 My Soul, inspir'd with sacred Love,
GOD's holy Name for ever bless;
Of all his Favours mindful prove,
And still thy grateful Thanks express:
'Tis he, that all thy Sins forgives;
And after Sickness makes thee sound;
From Danger he thy Life retrieves,
By him with Grace and Mercy crown'd.
2 He with good Things thy Mouth supplies,
Thy Vigour, Eagle-like, renews;
He, when the guiltless Suff'rer cries,
His Foe with just Revenge pursues;
GOD made of old his righteous Ways,
To Moses and our Fathers, known;
His Works, to his eternal Praise,
Were to the Sons of Jacob shown.
3 The LORD abounds with tender Love,
And unexampled Acts of Grace;
His waken'd Wrath doth slowly move,
His willing Mercy flows apace.
GOD will not always harshly chide,
But with his Anger quickly part;
And loves his Punishment to guide,
More by his Love than our Desert.
4 As high as Heav'n its Arch extends
Above this little Spot of Clay;
So much his boundless Love transcends,
The small Respects that we can pay:
As far as 'tis from East to West,
So far has he our Sins remov'd;
Who with a Father's tender Breast,
Has such as fear him always lov'd.
5 For GOD, who all our Frame surveys,
Considers that we are but Clay;
How fresh foe'er we seem, our Days
Like Grass or Flow'rs must fade away:
Whilst they are nipt with sudden Blasts,
Nor can we find their former Place;
GOD's faithful Mercy ever lasts,
To those that fear him, and their Race.
6 This shall attend on such as still,
Proceed in his appointed Way;
And who not only know his Will,
But to it, just Obedience pay:
The LORD, the universal King,
In Heav'n has fix'd his lofty Throne;
To him, ye Angels, Praises sing,
In whose great Strength his Pow'r is shown.
7 Ye that his just Commands obey,
And hear and do his sacred Will;
Ye Hosts of his, this Tribute pay,
Who still what he ordains fulfill:
Let ev'ry Creature jointly bless,
The mighty LORD: and thou, my Heart,
With grateful Joy thy Thanks express,
And in this Concert bear thy Part. Scripture: Psalm 103 Languages: English Tune Title: [My Soul inspir'd by sacred Love]
