Isaac Watts - Psalm 30 part 2Isaac Watts - Psalm 30 part 2
Work rating: Low


v.6 L. M. Health, sickness, and recovery. Firm was my health, my day was bright, And I presumed `twould ne`er be night; Fondly I said within my heart, "Pleasure and peace shall ne`er depart." But I forgot thine arm was strong Which made my mountain stand so long: Soon as thy face began to hide, My health was gone, my comforts died. I cried aloud to thee, my God, "What canst thou profit by my blood? Deep in the dust can I declare Thy truth, or sing thy goodness there? "Hear me, O God of grace," I said, "And bring me from among the dead:" Thy word rebuked the pains I felt, Thy pard`ning love removed my guilt. My groans, and tears, and forms of woe Are turned to joy and praises now; I throw my sackcloth on the ground, And ease and gladness gird me round My tongue, the glory of my frame, Shall ne`er be silent of thy name; Thy praise shall sound through earth and heav`n For sickness healed and sins forgiv`n.
