With my whole heart I'll raise my song

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119 Lyrics: With my whole heart I've sought thy face: O let me never stray From thy commands, O God of grace, Nor tread the sinner's way. Thy word I've hid within my heart To keep my conscience clean, And be an everlasting guard From every rising sin. I'm a companion of the saints Who fear and love the Lord; My sorrows rise, my nature faints, When men transgress thy word. While sinners do thy gospel wrong My spirit stands in awe; My soul abhors a lying tongue, But loves thy righteous law. My heart with sacred rev'rence hears The threat'nings of thy word; My flesh with holy trembling fears The judgments of the Lord. My God, I long, I hope, I wait, For thy salvation still; While thy whole law is my delight, And I obey thy will.

The proud have framed their scoffs and lies, They watch my feet with envious eyes, And tempt my soul to snares and sin, Yet thy commands I ne'er decline. They hate me, Lord, without a cause, They hate to see me love thy laws; But I will trust and fear thy name, Till pride and malice die with shame.

Where'er the Gospel truth is taught

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119:1-16 Lyrics: 1 Where'er the Gospel truth is taught, The way of life to light is brought-- The ignorant are made to know, Their Saviour, and to serve him too. 2 The greatest gifts on man bestow'd, That is to know the living God; And Jesus Christ his only son, And what he hath for sinners done. 3 Jesus who for our sins aton'd, Will be confess'd and freely own'd! The gifts he doth for us provide, Are by the Holy Ghost applied. 4 What changes in the heart take place, When sinners feel the work of grace; They feel the pow'rful Gospel word, And know that Jesus is their Lord. 5 The pow'rs of darkness are dispell'd! The soul with light and life is fill'd-- Enabled by a heav'nly pow'r, To love their Saviour evermore. 6 Tho' diff'rent gifts the spirit give, Yet all from him alone derive; Sufficient grace withal is giv'n, To fit each seeking soul for heav'n.
