HYMN 431. (5. METRE.)
Argument.
God's the sure portion of the pure in heart,Their sure destruction that from him depart.
Psalm 73.
[verse 25] WHO is there, Lord, that I can wishbut thee, in Heaven above:Nor is there any one on earthlike thee that I can love. [verse 26] My flesh and heart doth fail in me,but God doth fail me never;The strengthner of my heart is he,and heritage for ever.
[verse 27] For lo all such as go from thee,and unto Idols bow,Shall their deserved ruin meet,and utter overthrow, [verse 28] Therefore will I draw nigh to God,and in the Lord I'll trust;That I may shew forth all his worksto be both good and just.
