HYMN 343. (Psal. 25. v. 12.)

Argument.

The Mysteries of God's free Grace Reveal'd to such as seek his face.

 [verse 12]  WHO is the man that fears the Lord?
to him he plainly shews,
What way to go, and how to know
the way that he shall chuse.
 [verse 13]  His soul shall dwell exceeding well
in perfect peace and rest,
And 'tis decreed that by his seed
the Earth shall be posses'd.

 [verse 14]  The secrets of the Lord above
shall all that fear him know,
And unto them that fear his Name
His Covenant he will show.
 [verse 22]  To Israel then do thou, O God,
thy sweet redemption send,
And bring all his adversities
unto an happy end.
