Adoration: Psalm 30

Psalms 30 Thou hast... girded me with gladness.

I will exalt Thee, Lord of hosts, For Thou'st exalted me;

Since Thou hast silenced Satan's boasts, I'll therefore boast in Thee.

My sins had brought me near the grave, The grave of black despair;

I looked, but there was none to save Till I looked up in prayer. In answer to my piteous cries, From hell's dark brink I'm brought: My Jesus saw me from the skies, And swift salvation wrought.

All through the night I wept full sore, But morning brought relief; That hand, which broke my bones before, Then broke my bonds of grief. My mourning He to dancing turns, For sackcloth, joy He gives, A moment, Lord, Thine anger burns, But long Thy favour lives.

Sing with me then, ye favoured men, Who long have known His grace; With thanks recall the seasons when Ye also sought His face.

Tune: "Abridge."
