Christian Worship Watchfulness And Brotherly Reproof Psalm 141.
My God, accept my early vows,
Like morning incense, in thy house;
And let my nightly worship rise
Sweet as the evening sacrifice.
Watch o’er my lips, and guard them, Lord,
From every rash and heedless word;
Nor let my feet incline to tread
The guilty path where sinners lead.
O may the righteous, when I stray,
Smite and reprove my wandering way;
Their gentle words, like ointment shed,
Shall never bruise, but cheer, my head.
When I behold them prest with grief
I’ll cry to heaven for their relief;
And by my warm petitions prove
How much I prize their faithful love.
