Psalms 31:3

• [Psa 31:3] I Do Not Ask, O Lord

  I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be A pleasant road; I do not ask that Thou wouldst take from me Aught of its load. I do not ask that flowers should always spring Beneath my feet; I know too well the poison and the sting Of things too sweet. For one thing, only Lord, dear Lord, I plead: Lead me aright, Though strength should falter and though heart should bleed, Through peace to light. I do not ask, O Lord, that Thou shouldst shed Full radiance here Give but a ray of peace, that I may tread Without a fear. I do not ask my cross to understand, My way to see; Better in darkness just to feel Thy hand, And follow Thee. Joy is like restless day; but peace divine Like quiet night: Lead me, O Lord, till perfect day shall shine, Through peace to light.

• [Psa 31:3] Jesus, Merciful And Mild

  Jesus, merciful and mild, lead me as a helpless child: On no other arm but Thine would my weary soul recline. Thou art ready to forgive, Thou canst bid the sinner live; Guide the wanderer, day by day, in the straight and narrow way. Thou canst fit me by Thy grace for the heav’nly dwelling place; All Thy promises are sure, ever shall Thy love endure; Then what more could I desire, how to greater bliss aspire? All I need, in Thee I see; Thou art all in all to me. Jesus, Savior all divine, hast Thou made me truly Thine? Hast Thou bought me by Thy blood? Reconciled my heart to God? Hearken to my tender prayer; let me Thine own image bear. Let me love Thee more and more till I reach Heav’n’s blissful shore.

Psalms 76:1

• [Psa 76:1] God Is Known Among His People

  God is known among His people, Every mouth His praises fill; From of old He has established His abode on Zion’s hill; There He broke the sword and arrow, Bade the noise of war be still. Excellent and glorious art Thou, With Thy trophies from the fray; Thou hast slain the valiant hearted, Wrapped in sleep of death are they; When Thine anger once is risen, Who can stand in that dread day? When from Heav’n Thy sentence sounded, All the earth in fear was still, While to save the meek and lowly God in judgment wrought His will; E’en the wrath of man shall praise Thee, Thy designs it shall fulfill. Vow and pay ye to Jehovah, Him your God forever own; All men, bring your gifts before Him, Worship Him, and Him alone; Mighty kings obey and fear Him, Princes bow before His throne.
