3 Yet with my God I leave my cause,
And trust his promis’d grace;
He rules me by his well-known laws
Of love and righteousness.

4 Not all the pains that e’er I bore
Shall spoil my future peace,
For death and hell can do no more
Than what my Father please.

Hymn 1:84. 
Salvation, righteousness, and strength in Christ,
Isa. 45. 21 25.

1 Jehovah speaks, let Israel hear,
Let all the earth rejoice and fear,
While God’s eternal Son proclaims
His sovereign honours and his names: 

2 “I am the last, and I the first,
“The Saviour God, and God the just;
“There’s none beside pretends to shew
“Such justice and salvation too.

3 “[Ye that in shades of darkness dwell,
“Just on the verge of death and hell,
“Look up to me from distant lands,
“Light, life and heaven are in my hands.

4 “I by my holy Name have sworn,
“Nor shall the word in vain return,
“To me shall all things bend the knee,
“And every tongue shall swear to me.]

5 “In me alone shall men confess “Lies all their strength and righteousness; “But such as dare despise my Name, “I’ll clothe them with eternal shame.

6 “In me the Lord, shall all the seed
“Of Israel from their sins be freed,
“And by their shining graces prove
“Their interest in my pardoning love.”

Hymn 1:85. 
The same.

1 The Lord on high proclaims
His Godhead from his throne;
“Mercy and justice are the names
“By which I will be known.

2 “Ye dying souls that sit
“In darkness and distress,
“Look from the borders of the pit
“To my recovering grace.”

3 Sinners shall hear the sound; Their thankful tongues shall own, “Our righteousness and strength is found “In thee, the Lord, alone.”

4 In thee shall Israel trust,
And see their guilt forgiven;
God will pronounce the sinners just,
And take the saints to heaven.

Hymn 1:86. 
God holy, just, and sovereign.  Job 9. 2-10.

1 How should the sons of Adam’s race
Be pure before their God? 
If he contend in righteousness
We fall beneath his rod.

2 To vindicate my words and thoughts
I’ll make no more pretence;
Not one of all my thousand faults
Can bear a just defence.

3 Strong is his arm, his heart is wise;
What vain presumers dare
Against their Maker’s hand to rise,
Or tempt th’ unequal war?

4 [Mountains by his almighty wrath From their old seats are torn; He shakes the earth from south to north, And all her pillars mourn.

5 He bids the sun forbear to rise,
Th’ obedient sun forbears: 
His hand with sackcloth spreads the skies,
And seals up all the stars.

6 He walks upon the stormy sea
Flies on the stormy wind;
There’s none can trace his wondrous way,
Or his dark footsteps find.]
