Lord’s Day 17, 2006
I reioyced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord. Psalms 122:1, (Geneva Bible)

GOD HONOURED

O God,

raise waiteth for thee,
and to render it is my noblest exercise;
This is thy due from all thy creatures,
for all thy works display thy attributes
and fulfil thy designs;
The sea, dry land, winter cold, summer heat,
morning light, evening shade are full of thee,
and thou givest me them richly to enjoy.
Thou art King of kings and Lord of lords;
At thy pleasure empires rise and fall;
All thy works praise thee and thy saints bless thee;
Let me be numbered with thy holy ones,
resemble them in character and condition,
sit with them at Jesus' feet.
May my religion be always firmly rooted
in thy Word,
my understanding divinely informed,
my affections holy and heavenly,
my motives simple and pure,
and my heart never wrong with thee.
Deliver me from the natural darkness
of my own mind,
from the corruptions of my heart,
from the temptations to which I am exposed,
from the daily snares that attend me.
I am in constant danger while I am in this life;
Let thy watchful eye ever be upon me
for my defence,
Save me from the power of my worldly
and spiritual enemies
and from all painful evils to which
I have exposed myself.
Until the day of life dawns above
let there be unrestrained fellowship with Jesus;
Until fruition comes, may I enjoy
the earnest of my inheritance
and the firstfruits of the Spirit;
Until I finish my course with joy may I
pursue it with diligence,
in every part display the resources of the Christian,
and adorn the doctrine of thee my God
in all things.

—from The Valley of Vision, Arthur Bennett, editor (Banner of Truth Trust, 2002).


Psalme 113 (Geneva Bible)

1 Prayse ye the Lord. Prayse, O ye seruants of the Lorde, prayse the Name of the Lorde.
2 Blessed be the Name of the Lorde from hencefoorth and for euer.
3 The Lordes Name is praysed from the rising of ye sunne, vnto ye going downe of the same.
4 The Lord is high aboue all nations, and his glorie aboue the heauens.
5 Who is like vnto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling on high!
6 Who abaseth himselfe to beholde things in the heauen and in the earth!
7 He raiseth the needie out of the dust, and lifteth vp the poore out of the dung,
8 That he may set him with the princes, euen with the princes of his people.
9 He maketh the barren woman to dwell with a familie, and a ioyfull mother of children. Prayse ye the Lord.

Grace and peace to you this Lord’s Day.
