Desire of knowledge; or, The teachings of the Spirit with the word. <br /> <br />ver. 64,68,18 <br /> <br />Thy mercies fill the earth, O Lord; <br />How good thy works appear! <br />Open mine eyes to read thy word, <br />And see thy wonders there. <br /> <br />ver. 73,125 <br /> <br />My heart was fashioned by thy hand; <br />My service is thy due: <br />O make thy servant understand <br />The duties he must do. <br /> <br />ver. 19 <br /> <br />Since I'm a stranger here below, <br />Let not thy path be hid; <br />But mark the road my feet should go, <br />And be my constant guide <br /> <br />ver. 26 <br /> <br />When I confessed my wand'ring ways, <br />Thou heard'st my soul complain; <br />Grant me the teachings of thy grace, <br />Or I shall stray again. <br /> <br />ver. 33,34 <br /> <br />If God to me his statutes show, <br />And heav'nly truth impart, <br />His work for ever I'll pursue, <br />His law shall rule my heart. <br /> <br />ver. 50,71 <br /> <br />This was my comfort when I bore <br />Variety of grief; <br />It made me learn thy word the more, <br />And fly to that relief. <br /> <br />ver. 51 <br /> <br />[In vain the proud deride me now; <br />I'll ne'er forget thy law, <br />Nor let that blessed gospel go, <br />Whence all my hopes I draw. <br /> <br />ver. 27,171 <br /> <br />When I have learned my Father's will, <br />I'll teach the world his ways; <br />My thankful lips, inspired with zeal, <br />Shall loud pronounce his praise.]<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-119-part-9/
