Hymn VIII. Psal. 16.1, 2, 3.
LORD save me, for I trust in thee With all my mind and heart; To thee my Soul hath often said, My Lord, my God thou art. My goodness never can extend To thee, O Lord, above; But to thine excellent Saints on Earth Whom I entirely love.
LORD save me, for I trust in thee With all my mind and heart; To thee my Soul hath often said, My Lord, my God thou art. My goodness never can extend To thee, O Lord, above; But to thine exc'llent Saints on Earth Whom I entirely love.
5, 6. God is my Portion, all my good From his rich Mercy flows, And his kind Providence secures The Blessings he bestows. ⟨p. 8⟩I envy not the Great man's State, Nor pine to see his store; With what I have I'm pleased much, With what I hope for, more.
7, 8. I bless the Lord who did direct My Soul to choose aright, On which my secret thoughts reflect With comfort every night. I still conceived the Lord to stand Before me as my Guide, While he doth stand at my right hand I know I shall not slide.
