Psalm 119 Part 14

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 91 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119 First Line: Consider all my sorrows, Lord Lyrics: Consider all my sorrows, Lord, And thy deliv'rance send; My soul for thy salvation faints When will my troubles end? Yet I have found 'tis good for me To bear my Father's rod; Afflictions make me learn thy law, And live upon my God. This is the comfort I enjoy When new distress begins- I read thy word, I run thy way, And hate my former sins. Had not thy word been my delight When earthly joys were fled, My soul, oppressed with sorrow's weight Had sunk amongst the dead. I know thy judgments, Lord, are right, Though they may seem severe; The sharpest suff'rings I endure Flow from thy faithful care. Before I knew thy chast'ning rod My feet were apt to stray; But now I learn to keep thy word, Nor wander from thy way.

My lips with courage shall declare Thy statutes and thy name; I'll speak thy word, though kings should hear, Nor yield to sinful shame. Let bands of persecutors rise To rob me of my right; Let pride and malice forge their lies, Thy law is my delight. Depart from me, ye wicked race, Whose hands and hearts are ill; I love my God, I love his ways, And must obey his will. Topics: Purposes holy; Resolutions, holy; Vows of holiness

Since I'm a stranger here below, Let not thy path be hid; But mark the road my feet should go, And be my constant guide When I confessed my wand'ring ways, Thou heard'st my soul complain; Grant me the teachings of thy grace, Or I shall stray again. If God to me his statutes show, And heav'nly truth impart, His work for ever I'll pursue, His law shall rule my heart.
