I to the throne of grace apply'd,
And speedy rescue found.

PAUSE.

5 How great deliverance thou hast wrought
Before the sons of men!
The lying lips to silence brought,
And made their boastings vain!

6 Thy children, from the strife of tongues,
Shall thy pavilion hide,
Guard them from infamy and wrongs,
And crush the sons of pride.

7 Within thy secret presence, Lord,
Let me for ever dwell;
No fenced city, wall'd and barr'd,
Secures a saint so well.


Psalm 32:1. S. M.

Whose sins are cover'd o'er!
Divinely blest, to whom the Lord
imputes their guilt no more.

2 They mourn their follies past,
