O How wonderful are thy Works O God! the depths of thy counsels are past finding out Who knoweth thy waies and to whom dost thou give account of thy actions how thou dost order the works of thy hands Oh! how vain a thing is man when thou turnest thy hand upon him How often hast thou broken me to pieces How often hast thou led me through deaths How hath thy terror many a time seizd upon me and thy dread made me afraid Thou hast bruised me from morning till night Oh! who may stand before thee thou Judge of all men In the days of my affliction how have I roared from morning till night Then did I seek death but could not finde it and thirst to be covered in darkness but could not obtain it I said I will go down into forgetfulness but thou would not suffer me But in thy will thou raised me and sent me to the Nations A signe and a wonder thou hast made me and a stranger to them who had well known me Yea how often hast thou changed me so that I have not been known to my self And thou hast hid me from such as have followed me Thou hast lifted me up I have been exalted thou hast cast me down and I have been despised I have been a scorn to fools that knows not thy wayes and as a prey to the devourer Then I said Thou hast cast me off else why am I covered with blackness But this was my impatience my haste and my folly Thou smilest upon me in the midst thereof and I was judged yea I loathed my self before thee Oh how hast thou turned me in a moment Thou liftedst my head out of Prison and set me above such as sought to destroy me Yea how often hast thou redeemed me from death how often have I been beset about yea the eyes of evil men have been daylie upon me to see my fall Yea many a time had I been driven from my steadfastness but thy Promises have been my refuge Yea had it not been for thy Word I had dispaired of hope therefore do I love it more then gold Oh that men knew thy faithfulness Out of the pit have I cryed to thee and thou heardest me and didst answer out of thy Holy Place Then I said I will fear thee for ever and obey thee till death because thy Word hath strengthned me Thouturned away thy face and I became darkness Then I said I am forsaken for thou hast found iniquity in me Thus have I been as clay in thy hands and durst not ask thee an account of thy doings Oh thou faithful one how dreadful art thou how powerful is thy presence with thy breath dost thou change the world and makest all things new So dost thou make man forget his travel and turns his sorrow into a Song Praise the Lord O my soul while I have a being among the sons of men J.N. A Morning-Song when I being in Prison at Westminster SInce thou hast drawn me to thee how doth my soul love thee my God! Since thou hast begotten me to thee how doth my heart bow before thee my Father How doth my soul worship thee How do I delight to live with thee It is life to abide continually in thy presence to receive thy commands and do them Oh how hast thou made me with thy hand and formed me anew with thy free spirit so that the tedious wayes of wearisomness is forgotter and I love to run the way after thee and to tread thy pathes Surely all the time of my life is too little to serve thee in thy holy wayes my Redeemer and my King Oh! let my soul for ever live in thy bosom that I may continually taste the breathings of thy pure life which fillss my soul with fatness my heart with pleasure With tears I have found thee with joy I live with thee Oh how am I afraid to lose thee O how strong is love I cannot live without thee Blessed be the day in which thou called me out from my Kindred and set a Hedge betwixt me and mine acquaintance that thou might turn me to thy self Thou set my familiars afa● from me that thou might bring me to thee alone Oh my joy Thou hast set all the world against me that I might seek thee to take my part Then did I cry unto thee and thou wast near for this was thy purpose concerning me That I might know thee In secret didst thou support me least my faith should fail yet not in my way least I should be exalted and so forget thy fear yet would never suffer me to want thy goodness How often hast thou stript me of all yea my dearest friends who were as my life were set against me in Judgement this was done that thou might prove me in the fire to melt me and try me that thou might bend me for thy self alone Then did I see how vain a thing is man how soon is he changed into a lye I said To thee alone I commit my cause Then didst thou
