5 Offer to God the sacrifice Of Love and [sincere] righteousness, And then put all your trust in him To save [and help] you in distress.
6 Deceived men enquire for good, [But where] to find it cannot tell: Lord, let the glory of thy face Shine forth [on us] and we are well.
7 Thy Love and Grace into my heart Hath put more joy and [solid] peace, ⟨p. 5⟩Then all their wealth will them afford, When Corn and Wine [do most] increase.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, And hope for [quiet] rest and sleep, Trusting alone that thou Lord wilt Me and my dwelling [safely] keep.
