Effect of righteousness divine Implanted in the soul renew'd, The calm serenity be mine, The humble confidence in God, (Which neither life nor death can move) The fulness of eternal love. Page 331 "Be thou their arm every morning." Isa. xxxiii. 2. Arm of the Lord, O Christ, thou art; Mine arm this morning be, Thy love omnipotent impart, Reveal thyself in me: 'Till thou my soul again create, And all thy power make known, And raise me to my first estate; I hang on thee alone. "O Lord, be gracious unto us, we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble." Isa. xxxiii. 2. Jesus, we have long expected Thee our Saviour-God to see: Can we be at last rejected, Left to die for want of thee? Sinners at thy footstool dying, Us thou surely wilt forgive, Every soul on thee relying Must by thee forever live. Thro' the dark distressing hour Let us still perceive thee near: Then reveal thy glorious power, Faith's Almighty Finisher, Then in tenderest compassion All our griefs and sins remove, Be thyself our full salvation, Be thyself our perfect love. "The Lord dwelleth on high, he hath filled Sion with judgment and righteousness. And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure." Isa. xxxiii. 5, 6. Jesus, from thy holy place, Thy dwelling in the sky, Fill our church with righteousness, Our want of faith supply; Page 332 Faith our strong salvation be, And godliness with all its power 'Stablish our prosperity, 'Till time shall be no more. Let thy Spirit of grace o'er-flow Our re-converted land, Let the least and greatest know, And bow to thy command; Wisdom pure, religious fear Our king's peculiar treasure prove, Blest with piety sincere, Inspir'd with humble love. "He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly ... he shall dwell on high, c." Isa. xxxiii. 15, 16, 17. He that by faith in Jesus lives, Doth righteousness attain, And walks unblameable, and gives Their due to God and man; His words as upright as his deeds, His heart and conscience pure; On all the joys of earth he treads, And dwells with God secure.
