7 Then let me love my Bible more,
And take a fresh delight
By day to read these wonders o'er,
And meditate by night.
Song 8.
_Praise to God for learning to read_.
1 The praises of my tongue
I offer to the Lord,
That I was taught, and learnt so young
To read his holy Word.
2 That I am taught to know
The danger I was in,
By nature and by practice too
A wretched slave to sin.
3 That I am led to see
I can do nothing well;
And whither shall a sinner flee,
To save himself from hell?
4 Dear Lord, this book of thine
Informs me where to go
For grace to pardon all my sin,
And make me holy too.
5 Here I can read and learn
How Christ the Son of God
Did undertake our great concern,
Our ransom cost his blood.
6 And now he reigns above,
He sends his Spirit down,
To show the wonders of his love,
And make his Gospel known.
7 O may that Spirit teach,
And make my heart receive
Those truths which all thy servants preach,
And all thy saints believe!
8 Then shall I praise the Lord
In a more chearful strain,
That I was taught to read his Word,
And have not learnt in vain.
Song 9.
The All-Seeing God.
1 Almighty God, thy piercing eye
Strikes through the shades of night,
And our most secret actions lie
All open to thy sight.
