Holy Fear, and Tenderness of Conscience

Verse 1

With my whole heart I've sought your face, O let me never stray from your commands, O God of grace, nor tread the sinner's way! I've hid your word within my heart, to keep my conscience clean; God, be an everlasting guard from every rising sin.

Verse 2

My soul, with sacred reverence, needs the guidance of your word; my heart, with holy yearning, heeds the judgments of my Lord. My God, I long, I hope, I wait for your salvation still; your holy law is my delight; help me obey your will.
