I reioyced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord. (Psalme 122:1 Geneva Bible)

LIVING FOR JESUS

O Saviour of Sinners,

Thy name is excellent,
thy glory high,
        thy compassions unfailing,
        thy condescension wonderful,
        thy mercy tender.
I bless thee for the discoveries, invitations,
      promises of the gospel
   for in them is pardon for rebels,
      liberty for captives,
      health for the sick,
      salvation for the lost.
I come to thee in thy beloved name of Jesus;
   re-impress thy image upon my soul;
Raise me above the smiles and frowns of the world,
   regarding it as a light thing to be judged by men;
May thy approbation be my only aim,
   thy Word my one rule.
Make me to abhor that which grieves thy
      Holy Spirit,
   to suspect consolations of a worldly nature,
   to shun a careless way of life,
   to reprove evil,
   to instruct with meekness those who oppose me,
   to be gentle and patient towards all men,
   to be not only a professor but an example
      of the gospel,
   displaying in every relation, office, and condition
      its excellency, loveliness and advantages.
How little have I illustrated my principles
   and improved my privileges!
How seldom I served my generation!
How often have I injured and not recommended
   my Redeemer!
How few are those blessed through me!
In many things I have offended,
   in all come short of thy glory;
Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

Psalme 119:153–160
(Geneva Bible)
Resh.
153 Beholde mine affliction, and deliuer mee: for I haue not forgotten thy Lawe.
154 Pleade my cause, and deliuer me: quicken me according vnto thy word.
155 Saluation is farre from the wicked, because they seeke not thy statutes.
156 Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord: quicken me according to thy iudgements.
157 My persecutours and mine oppressours are many: yet doe I not swarue from thy testimonies.
158 I saw the transgressours and was grieued, because they kept not thy worde.
159 Consider, O Lord, how I loue thy preceptes: quicken mee according to thy louing kindenesse.
160 The beginning of thy worde is trueth, and all the iudgements of thy righteousnesse endure for euer.

Grace be with you, and Peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
