h, that my heart was right with thee,
And loved thee with a perfect love!
Oh, that my lord would dwell in me,
And never from his seat remove!
Jesus, remove the impending load,
And set my soul on fire for God!

Thou seest I dwell in awful night
Until Thou in my heart appear;
Kindle the flame, O Lord, and light
Thine everlasting candle there.
They presence puts the shadows by;
If thou art gone, how dark am I?

Ah, Lord, how should Thy servant see,
Unless Thou give me seeing eyes?
Well may I fall, if out of Thee;
If out of Thee, how should I rise?
I wander Lord, without Thy aid,
And lose my way in midnight’s shade.

Thy bright, unerring light afford,
A light that gives the sinner hope;
And from the house of bondage, Lord,
Oh, bring the weary captive up.
Thine hand alone can set me free,
And reach Thy pardon out to me.

Oh, let my prayer acceptance find,
And bring the mighty blessing down;
With eye-salve, Lord, anoint the blind,
And seal me Thine adopted son;
A fallen, helpless creature take,
And heir of Thy salvations make.

—from Worthy Is the Lamb (Soli Deo Gloria, 2004).

1 We will prayse thee, O God, we will prayse thee, for thy Name is neere: therefore they will declare thy wonderous workes.
2 When I shall take a conuenient time, I will iudge righteously.
3 The earth and all the inhabitantes thereof are dissolued: but I will establish the pillers of it. Selah.
4 I saide vnto the foolish, Be not so foolish, and to the wicked, Lift not vp the horne.
5 Lift not vp your horne on high, neither speake with a stiffe necke.
6 For to come to preferment is neither from the East, nor from the West, nor from the South,
7 But God is the iudge: he maketh lowe and he maketh hie.
8 For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red: it is full mixt, and he powreth out of the same: surely all the wicked of the earth shall wring out and drinke the dregges thereof.
9 But I will declare for euer, and sing prayses vnto the God of Iaakob.
10 All the hornes of the wicked also will I breake: but the hornes of the righteous shalbe exalted.
