PSALM LXI.

By Edward A. Collier

REV. EDWARD A. COLLIER.

Hear thou, O God, my mournful plaint, And to my humble prayer attend. When overwhelmed my heart grows faint, To thee I'll call from earth's far end— Oh, lead me, as for help I flee, Unto the rock too high for me!

Since thou my refuge oft hast been, When fierce the storm against me rose, My tower of strength and peace serene, Secure against my wrathful foes, I'll ever in thy house abide, And 'neath thy sheltering wings will hide;

For thou hast heard my vows and prayer, And in thy grace hast made my own The heritage thou dost prepare For those who fear thy name alone. Days to the King thou wilt increase, Nor shall his years through ages cease.

He shall forever more abide, Enthroned, O God, at thy right hand. Mercy and truth do thou provide, And bid as guards around him stand. So will I praise thy name for aye, And thus my vows will daily pay. —New York Observer.
