My spirit stands in awe;
My soul abhors a lying tongue,

YONSIDER all my sorrows, Lord;
And thy deliv'rance send;

My soul for thy salvation faints;

To bear my Father's rod;

When new distress begins;
I read thy word, I run thy way,

My soul, oppress'd with sorrow's weight,
Had sunk amongst the dead.

But now I learn to keep thy word,
Nor wander from thy way.

If thou my heart discharge
From sin's and Satan's hateful chains,
