I throw my sackcloth on the ground, And ease and gladness gird me round. 6 My tongue, the glory of my frame, Shall ne'er be silent of thy name: 31 Thy praise shall sound thro' earth and heaven, For sickness healed, and sins forgiven. FIRST PART. To thee, O God of truth and love, C. M. Thou hast redeemed my soul from death, 2 My times are in thy hand, I cried, 3 0! make thy reconciled face And save me, for thy mercy's sake, 4 'Twas in my haste my spirit said, 60 love the Lord, all ye his saints, 31 He'll bend his ear to your complaints, Y SECOND PART. My heart rejoices in thy name, My God, my heavenly trust; C. M. Thou hast preserved my face from shame, 2 "My life is spent with grief," I cried, 66 My years consumed in groans, My strength decays, mine eyes are dried, 3 Among mine enemies my name 4 Slander and fear on every side 5 How great deliverance thou hast wrought The lying lips to silence brought, 6 Thy children from the strife of tongues Guard them from infamy and wrongs, 7 Within thy sacred presence, Lord, 32 No fenced city, walled and barred, FIRST PART. !
