v.8,9,13,14 <br />C. M. <br />Prayer and hope. <br /> <br />Soon as I heard my Father say, <br />"Ye children, seek my grace," <br />My heart replied without delay, <br />"I'll seek my Father's face." <br /> <br />Let not thy face be hid from me, <br />Nor frown my soul away; <br />God of my life, I fly to thee <br />In a distressing day. <br /> <br />Should friends and kindred near and dear <br />Leave me to want or die, <br />My God would make my life his care, <br />And all my need supply. <br /> <br />My fainting flesh had died with grief <br />Had not my soul believed, <br />To see thy grace provide relief; <br />Nor was my hope deceived. <br /> <br />Wait on the Lord, ye trembling saints, <br />And keep your courage up; <br />He'll raise your spirit when it faints, <br />And far exceed your hope.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-27-part-2/
