By A Collection of Hymns

      C.M.
      1 SAVE me, O God; for thou alone
      My tower of refuge art;
      Thou art my Lord, my only good;
      I bless thee from my heart.

      2 The Lord alone shall be my cup,
      And mine inheritance:
      And thou art he that guards my lot
      From every evil chance.

      3 The fields wherein my lot is cast
      In loveliness excel,
      And in her pleasant heritage
      My soul delights to dwell.

      4 I thank the Lord who teacheth me
      To read his will aright;
      Yea, by his blessing do my reins
      Correct me every night.

      5 I set the Lord before my face,
      And trust in him alone;
      At my right hand the Lord doth stand;
      I shall not be o'erthrown.

      6 Therefore my heart is very glad;
      My spirit shall rejoice;
      My flesh in tranquil hope shall rest,
      For thou wilt crown thy choice.

      7 The path of life thou wilt display,
      And keep for me in store
      The fulness of thy joy, and peace
      With thee for evermore.
