But makes the law of God His study and delight, Amidst the labours of the day, And watches of the night.

He like a tree shall thrive,

With waters near the root;

Fresh as the leaf his name shall live,

His works are heavenly fruit.

Not so the ungodly race

They no such blessings find;

Their hopes shall flee, like empty chaff,

Before the driving wind.

5 How will they bear to stand Before that judgment seat,

Where all the saints, at Christ's right hand,

He knows, and he approves

The way the righteous go;

But sinners and their works shall meet
A dreadful overthrow.

1 LADEN with guilt, and full of fears,
I fly to thee, my Lord;

And not a glimpse of hope appears
But in thy written word.

2 The volume of my Father's grace
Does all my griefs assuage;
my Saviour's face

Here I behold

Almost in every page.

3 This is the field where hidden lies
The pearl of price unknown;
That merchant is divinely wise
Who makes the pearl his own.
4 Here consecrated water flows
To quench my thirst of sin;

Here the fair tree of knowledge grows, 1]
Nor danger dwells therein.

5 This is the judge that ends the strife,
Where wit and reason fail;

A

My guide to everlasting life me & you dT
Through all this gloomy vale.

6 O may thy counsels, mighty God,
My roving feet command;

1

Nor I forsake the happy road
That leads to thy right hand!

How firm our hope and comfort stands!

Pretend to joys so well refin'd.
