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

1 Into thine hand, 0 God of truth, My spirit I commit; Thou hast redeem'd my soul from death, And sav'd me from the pit.

2 The passions of my hope and fear Maintain'd a doubtful strife, While sorrow, pain, and sin conspir'd To take away my life.

3 "My times are in thine hand," I cry'd, "Tho' I draw near the dust ;" Thou art the refuge where I hide, The God in whom I trust.

4 O make thy reconciled face Upon thy servant shine, And save me for thy mercy's sake, For I'm entirely thine.
