3 ’Tis a broad land of wealth unknown
Where springs of life arise,
Seeds of immortal bliss are sown,
And hidden glory lies.

4 The best relief that mourners have,
It makes our sorrows blest;
Our fairest hope beyond the grave,
And our eternal rest.

Psalm 119:09.  Ninth Part. 
Desire of knowledge; or, The
teachings of the Spirit with the word.

Ver. 64 66 18.
1 Thy mercies fill the earth, O Lord,
How good thy works appear! 
Open mine eyes to read thy word,
And see thy wonders there.

Ver. 73 125.
2 My heart was fashion’d by thy hand,
My service is thy due: 
O make thy servant understand
The duties he must do.

Ver. 19.
3 Since I’m a stranger here below,
Let not thy path be hid;
But mark the road my feet should go,
And be my constant guide.

Ver. 26.
4 When I confess’d my wandering ways,
Thou heardst my soul complain;
Grant me the teachings of thy grace,
Or I shall stray again.

Ver. 33 34.
5 If God to me his statutes shew,
And heavenly truth impart,
His work for ever I’ll pursue,
His laws shall rule my heart.

Ver. 50 71.
6 This was my comfort when I bore
Variety of grief;
It made me learn thy word the more,
And fly to that relief.

Ver. 51.
7 [In vain the proud deride me now;
I’ll ne’er forget thy law,
Nor let that blessed gospel go
Whence all my hopes I draw.

Ver. 27 121.
8 When I have learn’d my Father’s will
I’ll teach the world his ways;
My thankful lips inspir’d with zeal
Shall loud pronounce his praise.]

Psalm 119:10.  Tenth Part. 
Pleading the promises.

Ver. 38 49.
1 Behold thy waiting servant, Lord,
Devoted to thy fear;
Remember and confirm thy word,
For all my hopes are there.

Ver. 41 58 107.
2 Hast thou not writ salvation down,
And promis’d quickening grace? 
Doth not my heart address thy throne? 
And yet thy love delays.

Ver. 132 42.
3 Mine eyes for thy salvation fail;
O bear thy servant up;
Nor let the scoffing lips prevail,
Who dare reproach my hope.

Ver. 49 74.
4 Didst thou not raise my faith, O Lord? 
Then let thy truth appear: 
Saints shall rejoice in my reward,
And trust as well as fear.

Psalm 119:11.  Eleventh Part. 
Breathing after holiness.

Ver. 5 33.
1 O that the Lord would guide my ways
To keep his statutes still! 
O that my God would grant me grace
To know and do his will!

Ver. 29.
2 O send thy Spirit down to write
Thy law upon my heart! 
Nor let my tongue indulge deceit,
Nor act the liar’s part.

Ver. 37 36.
3 From vanity turn off my eyes: 
Let no corrupt design,
Nor covetous desires arise
Within this soul of mine.

Ver. 133.
4 Order my footsteps by thy word,
And make my heart sincere,
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.
