Twentieth PART. RESCH

by (1815–1882)

Listen in the reader

View my Distress, and rescue me; For I thy Law still bear in Mind. Plead thou my Cause, and me redeem; May I, thy Word, me quick'ning, find. Salvation's far from wicked Men; For they to keep thy Law ne'er strive. Great are thy tender Mercies, Lord; Oh! in thy Judgments me revive. Many conspire to seek my Hurt; But from thy Truth I've not declin'd. With Grief Transgressors I beheld; For they've not kept thy Word in Mind. Behold, how thy Commands I love! Lord, in thy Mercy quicken me. Thy Word, from th' early'st Time is true; And lasts 'till Time no more shall be.
