auto-underlaid These words and this tune share a meter but have no hand-edited setting; the underlay was fitted automatically (syllable-for-note, validated). The opening stress differs from the tune's — usually fine; trust your ear.
1.In the fulness of Thy grace
To Thy house I will repair;
Bowing tow'rd thy holy place,
In Thy fear to worship there.
Lead me in thy righteousness,
Let my foes assail in vain;
Lest my feet be turned aside,
Make Thy way before me plain.
2.False and faithless are my foes,
In their mouth no truth is found;
Deadly are the words they speak,
All their tho'ts with sin abound.
Bring, O God, their plans to nought,
Hold them guilty in thy sight,
For against Thee and thy law
They have set themselves to fight.
3.O let all that trust Thy care
Ever glad and joyful be;
Let them joy who love Thy Name,
Safely guarded, Lord, by Thee.
For a blessing from Thy store
To the righteous Thou wilt yield;
Thou wilt compass him about
With Thy favor as a shield.
