7 Lift up your heads, ye gates, You lasting doors make way, That so the great desired King Of Glory enter may.
8 Who is this Glorious King? Who may this Monarch be? The strong and mighty God; the Lord Mighty in war is he.
9 Lift up your heads▪ ye gates; You lasting doors make way, ⟨p. 34⟩That so the great and mighty King Of Glory enter may.
10 Who is he that is King Of Glory? Who is this? The Lord of Hosts, and he alone The King of Glory is.
1 I Lift my heart to thee, My God and guide most just;
2 O let me never be ashamed, For in thee do I trust. Let not my foes rejoice And triumph over me:
2 O let me never be asham'd, For in thee do I trust. Let not my foes rejoyce And triumph over me:
3 And let not any be ashamed That trust and wait on thee. But let them shamed be Who causelessly transgress.
3 And let not any be asham'd That trust and wait on thee. But let them shamed be Who causelesly transgress.
4 Show me thy ways; Lord teach thou me Thy paths of Righteousness.
4 Shew me thy ways; Lord teach thou me Thy paths of Righteousness.
5 Direct me in thy truth, And teach me, I thee pray; Thou art my God and Saviour, On thee I wait alway.
6 Remember, O my God, Thy mercies manifold; And thy great loving kindnesses, For they have been of old.
7 My sins and faults of youth, O keep not on record: In mercy for thy goodness sake, Remember me O Lord.
8 Perfectly good is God, A sure and upright guide; Therefore he'll teach sinners his way, That they go not aside.
9 The humble he will guide, Who do his Counsels seek; And he will teach his way unto The lowly and the meek.
10 For all the paths of God Are truth and mercy sure To them that do his Covenant keep, And Testimonies pure.
11 For thy names-sake, O Lord, I humbly thee entreat To pardon my iniquity, For it is very great.
