A Brighter Day Begins with His Word.

Watts, Isaac, 1674-1748 • SECTION 18

Psalm 5. For the Lord's day morning.

← The Psalms of David Imitated in the Language of the New Testament and Applied to the Christian State and Worship

1 Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear My voice ascending high; To thee will I direct my prayer, To thee lift up mine eye;

2 Up to the hills where Christ is gone To plead for all his saints, Presenting at his Father's throne Our songs and our complaints.

3 Thou art a God before whose sight The wicked shall not stand; Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight, Nor dwell at thy right hand.

4 But to thy house will I resort, To taste thy mercies there; I will frequent thine holy court, And worship in thy fear.

5 O may thy Spirit guide my feet In ways of righteousness! Make every path of duty straight And plain before my face.
