Prayer for quickening grace. <br /> <br />ver. 25,37 <br /> <br />My soul lies cleaving to the dust; <br />Lord, give me life divine; <br />From vain desires and every lust <br />Turn off these eyes of mine. <br /> <br />I need the influence of thy grace <br />To speed me in thy way, <br />Lest I should loiter in my race, <br />Or turn my feet astray. <br /> <br />ver. 107 <br /> <br />When sore afflictions press me down, <br />I need thy quick'ning powers; <br />Thy word that I have rested on <br />Shall help my heaviest hours. <br /> <br />ver. 156,40 <br /> <br />Are not thy mercies sovereign still, <br />And thou a faithful God? <br />Wilt thou not grant me warmer zeal <br />To run the heav'nly road? <br /> <br />ver. 159,40 <br /> <br />Does not my heart thy precepts love, <br />And long to see thy face? <br />And yet how slow my spirits move <br />Without enliv'ning grace! <br /> <br />ver. 93 <br /> <br />Then shall I love thy gospel more, <br />And ne'er forget thy word, <br />When I have felt its quick'ning power, <br />To draw me near the Lord.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-119-part-16/
