From God I sought relief;
In long complaints before his throne
I pour'd out all my grief.
2 My soul was overwhelm'd with woes,
My heart began to break;
My God, who all my burdens knows,
Beholds the way I take.
3 On every side I cast mine eye,
And found my helpers gone,
While friends and strangers past me by
Neglected or unknown.
4 Then did I raise a louder cry,
And call'd thy mercy near,
"Thou art my portion when I die,
"Be thou my refuge here."
5 Lord, I am brought exceeding low,
Now let thine ear attend,
And make my foes who vex me know
I've an almighty Friend.
6 From my sad prison set me free,
Then shall I praise thy name,
And holy men shall join with me,
Thy kindness to proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 142 Languages: English

Love to Enemies; or, the Love of Christ to Sinners typified in David

That holy David shows;
Behold his kind compassion move
For his afflicted foes!
2 When they are sick, his soul complains,
And seems to feel the smart;
The spirit of the gospel reigns,
And melts his pious heart.
3 How did his flowing tears condole
As for a brother dead!
And fasting mortified his soul,
While for their life he pray'd.
4 They groan'd, and curs'd him on their bed,
Yet still he pleads and mourns;
And double blessings on his head
The righteous God returns.
5 Oh glorious type of heavenly grace!
Thus Christ the Lord appears;
While sinners curse, their Saviour prays,
And pities them with tears.
6 He, the true David, Israel’s king,
Blest and belov'd of God,
To save us rebels dead in sin
Paid his own dearest blood. Scripture: Psalm 35:12-14 Languages: English

In work so pleasant, so divine;

And when my soul ascends to God.

While immortality endures;
My days of praise shall ne’er be past,
While life and thought and being last.
3 Why should I make a man my trust?
Princes must die and turn to dust;
Their breath departs, their pomp and power,
And thoughts all vanish in an hour.
4 Happy the man, whose hopes rely
On Israel’s God: He made the sky,
And earth, and seas, with all their train,
And none shall find his promise vain.
5 His truth forever stands secure;
He saves th’ opprest, he feeds the poor;
He sends the labouring conscience peace,
And grants the prisoner sweet release.
6 The Lord to sight restores the blind;
The Lord supports the sinking mind;
He helps the stranger in distress,
The widow and the fatherless.
7 He loves his saints, he knows them well;
But turns the wicked down to hell;
Thy God, O Zion, ever reigns;
Praise him in everlasting strains. Scripture: Psalm 146 Languages: English
