draw near and justified me thou healed my wound with thy anointing thou poured in thy consolation as oyle into my bones which was dryed with sorrow Thou made me forget all my grief thou renued my youth and my flesh came again as a child my heart thou madest new within me A clear vessel didst thou make me after the breaking of the old Then didst thou fill me with thy goodness thy Word became my food and the joy of thy spirit was my strength I became obedient and thy love was spread in my heart My soul is satisfied with thee my God and my Redeemer Praise the Lord. J.N. A Song of Deliverance THou hast seen Oh my God thou hast seen it when the wicked one laid a Snare for my feet in the day of my trouble when he spread his Net to take me unawares In the dark he spread it he covered it he said in his heart He shall not know thereof till I have caught him within my compass he shall not perceive it so was I as a bird innocent not knowing that it was for my life Then didst thou shew me it Oh thou preserver of the helpless thou said Hearken unto me so will I save thee from his subtilty follow me so shalt thou escape Thou led me in a foolish way to the wisdom of the enemy but I found it a way of peace and safety and a path of purity in which my soul delighted With holiness didst thou compass me and beset me about with salvation Though mine enemies compassed me about like a flood yet was my soul in safety Thou discovered to me the man of mischief and said in secret This is he that seeks for thy life Shall I forget thee my God Shall I forget thee Shall not I have thee ever before me By thy mercy hast thou gained my heart Thou knowest I love thee incline thou my heart unto thy fear continually Keep thou me for my trust is only in thee so shall I praise thy Name for ever and spread thy glory and goodness while I have any being Praise the Lord O â—y soul J.N.
