English poem
Sixth PART. VAU
by John Barnard (1815–1882)
Let Mercies and Salvation, come To me; as thou hast spoken, Lord. So shall I answer his Reproach; For I rely upon thy Word. Take not thy Word quite from my Mouth; For on thy Judgments I depend. So I will ever keep thy Law; With Constancy, unto the End. Freed from Restraints, I'll walk at large; For thy Commands I closely seek. Boldly, before the greatest Kings, I'll of thy Testimonies speak. In thy Commands, which I have lov'd; Myself, with Joy, I'll recreate. To thy lov'd Laws I'll stretch my Hands; And on thy Statutes meditate.
