By A Collection of Hymns

      C.M. Psalm ci.
      1 MERCY and judgement will I sing,
      I sing, O Lord, to thee!
      O when wilt thou descend and bring,
      Thy light and life to me?

      2 A perfect way in wisdom trod,
      A perfect heart at home,
      A way, a heart, a house, O God,
      I seek, where thou wilt come.

      3 I seek the faithful and the just;
      May I their help enjoy!
      Be these the friends in whom I trust,
      The servants I employ!

      4 From lies, from slander, and deceit,
      My dwelling shall be free;
      May it be found a dwelling meet,
      O righteous Lord, for thee!
