Page 282 "Blessed are the people who have the Lord for their God." Psalm cxliv. 15. Jesus, thou art my Lord, my God, And happy in thy love I am: The bliss thou hast on me bestow'd Remains in life and death the same; The love to all thy people given Is present, and eternal heaven. "His mercy is over all his works." Psalm cxlv. 9. The meanest then may mercy claim: I bring no other plea; The meanest of thy works I am, And mercy find in thee. "While I live, will I praise the Lord." Psalm cxlvi. 1. Long as on earth by faith I live, Jehovah's praise I sing, Honour, and thanks, and blessing give To Christ my God and King: And when my voice is lost in death, To better life restor'd, I'll sing with my immortal breath My glorious heavenly Lord. "As long as I have any being, I will sing praises unto my God." Psalm cxlvi. 1. Our hymns shall record Immanuel's name, The praise of our Lord, we live to proclaim; And when we are driven to that happy place, It still is our heaven to sing of his praise. "The Lord looseth men out of prison." Psalm cxlvi. 7. Jesus, the power belongs to thee, Set my imprison'd spirit free From pride and passion's chain; Thy Spirit breathe into my heart, Then, then I shall be as thou art, And never sin again.
