Psalm: No good thing belongs to me
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
No good thing belongs to me,
Sink of sin and misery;
Destitute and poor indeed,
Needing Christ, I all things need.
But the Lord is rich in grace,
Saviour of the sinful race;
Friend of helpless misery,
Jesus loves and cares for me.
Yes, I Thee my Helper know.
Kept from everlasting woe;
Thee my daily Saviour feel.
Rescued on the verge of hell.
Yet I for I'hy presence stay j
Come, and take my sins away.
Haste, my God, Thyself to' impart.
Save by dwelling in my heart.
