Job 15:4: Fear of God before mine eyes
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Fear of God before mine eyes
Lifts to Him my praying heart;
But when I His fear despise,
From His footstool I depart;
When I lose my gracious care,
Only then I cease from prayer.
Father, to my heart appear
Pleased and smiling in Thy Son;
Conscious of Thy presence near,
Bow'd and humbled at Thy throne,
Then I in Thy sight shall stay,
Always fear, and always pray.
