Lord, thou hast seen
my soul sincere,
Hast made thy truth and love appear;
Before mine eyes I set thy laws,
And thou hast owned
my righteous cause.
Since I have learned thy holy ways,
I've walked upright before thy face;
Or if my feet did e'er depart,
'Twas never with a wicked heart.
What sore temptations
broke my rest!
What wars and strugglings
in my breast!
But through thy grace,
that reigns within,
I guard against my darling sin:
That sin which close
besets me still,
That works and strives against my will:
When shall thy Spirit's
sovereign power
Destroy it, that it rise no more?
With an impartial hand, the Lord
Deals out to mortals their reward;
The kind and faithful souls shall find
A God as faithful and as kind.
The just and pure shall ever say,
Thou art more pure,
more just than they;
And men that love
evenge shall know
God hath an arm of vengeance too.
