271. Godly Resolves

Contents[Show]

Lyrics

1. Of mercy and of justice

My thankful song shall be;

O Lord, in joyful praises

My song shall rise to Thee.

Within my house I purpose

To walk in wisdom's ways;

O Lord, I need Thy presence;

How long wilt Thou delay?

2. On what is base and evil

I will not set my heart;

Transgressors' ways abhorring,

With them I take no part.

No froward man or evil

Shall my companion be;

I will not suffer slander

Or pride or treachery.

3. The faithful and the upright

Shall minister to me;

The lying and deceitful

My favor shall not see.

I will in daily judgment

All wickedness reward,

And cleanse from evildoers

The city of the Lord.
