Psalms 18:21

• [Psa 18:21] Lord, Thou Hast Seen My Soul Sincere

  Lord, Thou hast seen my soul sincere, Hast made Thy truth and love appear; Before mine eyes I set Thy laws, And Thou hast owned my righteous cause. Since I have learned Thy holy ways, I’ve walked upright before Thy face; Or if my feet did e’er depart, ’Twas never with a wicked heart. What sore temptations broke my rest! What wars and strugglings in my breast! But through Thy grace, that reigns within, I guard against my darling sin: That sin which close besets me still, That works and strives against my will: When shall Thy Spirit’s sovereign power Destroy it, that it rise no more? With an impartial hand, the Lord Deals out to mortals their reward; The kind and faithful souls shall find A God as faithful and as kind. The just and pure shall ever say Thou art more pure, more just than they; And men that love revenge shall know God hath an arm of vengeance, too.

Psalms 99:7

• [Psa 99:7] Now, When The Dusky Shades Of Night

  Now, when the dusky shades of night, retreating Before the sun’s red banner, swiftly flee; Now, when the terrors of the dark are fleeting, O Lord, we lift our thankful hearts to Thee. To Thee, whose Word, the fount of light unsealing, When hill and dale in thickest darkness lay, Awoke bright rays across the dim earth stealing, And bade the even and morn complete the day. Look from the tower of heaven, and send to cheer us, Thy light and truth, to guide us onward still; Still let Thy mercy, as of old, be near us, And lead us safely to Thy holy hill. In vain to labor, unless Thou be with him, Man goeth forth through all the weary day; In vain his strife, in vain his toil unceasing, Unless Thy staff bring comfort on his way. Thou, who hast made the north and south, watch o’er us; Thou, in Whose Name the lonely ones rejoice, Still let Thy cloudy pillar glide before us, Still let us listen for Thy warning voice. So, when the morn of endless light is waking, And shades of evil from its splendors flee, Safe may we rise, the earth’s dark breast forsaking, Through all the long bright day to dwell with Thee.
