Page 90 "If from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart, and with all thy soul." Deut. iv. 29. From hence, most gracious Lord, from hence The land of my captivity, I wail my complicate offence, And turn from every sin to thee; Mine utmost strength (which is not mine) In striving against sin exert, And weep, and pray for love divine With all my soul and all my heart. "When thou art in tribulation ... if thou turn to the Lord, and be obedient to his voice; he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee." Deut. iv. 30, 31. O'erwhelm'd alas, with deep distress, O'ertaken by thy plagues I mourn, And lo! In these my latest days To thee, my pard'ning God, I turn: Obedient now thy voice I hear; I will with all thy words comply: Avert the punishment I fear, Nor leave me in my sins to die. "Speak thou unto us all that the Lord our God shall speak unto thee, and we will hear it, and do it." Deut. v. 27. Gracious Lord, who stand'st between The great God and sinful men, Thee we joyfully will hear; Speak, divine interpreter, Speak whate'er he speaks to thee, Then we shall obedient be, Then our answering heart shall prove All the law fulfill'd in love.
