No Trust in the Creatures; or, Faith in Divine Grace and Power

Hymnal: PDIL1740 #106b (1740) First Line: My Spirit looks to GOD alone Lyrics: 1 My Spirit looks to GOD alone, My Rock and Refuge is his Throne; In all my Fears, in all my Straits, My Soul on his Salvation waits. 2 Trust him, ye Saints, in all your Ways, Pour out your Hearts before his Face: When Helpers fail, and Foes invade, GOD is our all-sufficient Aid. 3 False are the Men of high Degree, The baser Sort are Vanity; Laid in the Ballance both appear Light as a Puff of empty Air. 4 Make not increasing Gold your Trust, Nor set your Hearts on glittering Dust; Why will you grasp the fleeting Smoke, And not believe what God has spoke? 5 Once has his awful Voice declar'd, Once and again my Ears have heard, "All Pow'r is his eternal Due; "He must be fear'd and trusted too." 6 For sov'reign Pow'r reigns not alone, Grace is a Partner of the Throne; Thy Grace and Justice, mighty Lord, Shall well divide our last Reward.

Hymnal: PDIL1740 #107 (1740) First Line: Early, my GOD, without Delay Lyrics: 1 Early, my GOD, without Delay, In haste to seek thy Face; My thirsty Spirit faints away Without thy chearing Grace. 2 So Pilgrims on the scorching Sand, Beneath a burning Sky, Long for a cooling Stream at Hand, And they must drink or die. 3 I've seen thy Glory and thy Pow'r Thro' all thy Temples shine; My GOD, repeat that heav'nly Hour, That Vision so divine. 4 Not all the Blessings of a Feast Can please my Soul so well, As when thy richer Grace I taste, And in thy Presence dwell. 5 Not Life itself, with all her Joys, Can my best Passions move; Or rise so high my chearful Voice, As thy forgiving Love. 6 Thus till my last expiring Day, I'll bless my GOD and King; Thus will I lift my Hands to pray, And tune my Lips to sing.
