2 Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit Let us find thy promised rest. 1 My God, permit my tongue 2 My thirsty, fainting soul Thy mercy does implore; 3 For life without thy love No joy can be compared to this, 4 Since thou hast been my help, 5 The shadow of thy wings My soul in safety keeps: I follow where my Father leads, WATTS. 28. C. M. WATTS. 10 THAT the Lord would guide my ways To keep his statutes still! O that my God would grant me grace 2 O send thy Spirit down to write Nor let my tongue indulge deceit, 3 From vanity turn off mine eyes; 4 Order my footsteps by thy word, 5 Make me to walk in thy commands; Nor let my head, or heart, or hands, 29.
