Psalm 25
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: Hope Under Despondency; Hope Under Despondency First Line: Mine eyes and my desire Lyrics: 1 Mine eyes are my desire
Are ever to the Lord;
I love to plead his promises,
And rest upon his word.
2 Lord, turn to thee my soul;
Bring thy salvation near;
When will thy hand release my feet
From sin's destructive snare?
3 When shall the sovereign grace
Of my forgiving God
Restore me from those dangerous ways
My wandering feet have trod?
4 Oh, keep my soul from death,
Nor put my hope to shame!
For I have placed my only trust
In my Redeemer's name.
5 With humble faith I wait
To see thy face again;
Of Israel it shall ne'er be said,
He sought the Lord in vain. Used With Tune: LEIGHTON

Jordan passed."

Pass away."

Answer, Yes." Used With Tune: STEPHANOS

None so oft mislead our feet,
None betray us into sin,
Like the foes that dwell within;
Yet let nothing spoil our peace,
Christ shall also conquer these;
Soon the joyful news will come,
"Child, your Father calls come home!" Used With Tune: MESSIAH

And melt in flowing tears!
My weak resistance, ah, how vain!
How strong my foes and fears!

My feeble efforts aid;
Help me to watch, and pray, and strive,
Though trembling and afraid.

When foes and fears prevail;
And bear my fainting spirit up,
Or soon my strength will fail.

And bid the tempter flee!
And let me never, never stray
From happiness and thee. Scripture: Matthew 26:41 Used With Tune: COOLING

Pure, unbounded love thou art;
Visit us with thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart.

Into every troubled breast!
Let us all in thee inherit,
Let us find the promised rest:
Come, almighty to deliver,
Let us all thy life receive!
Speedily return, and never,
Never more thy temples leave!

Pure, unspotted may we be:
Let us see our whole salvation
Perfectly secured by thee!
Changed from glory unto glory,
Till in heaven we take our place;
Till we cast our crowns before thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE
