Version of Paraphrase of the Psalm, A - Psalm 131
1.
Thine eyes, my God, nor lofty mind
Nor haughty look in me shall find,
Nor Earth's vain pomp attracts my view,
Nor Honour's prize my thoughts pursue.
2.
Behold me of affections mild,
Behold me humble as the Child,
That meek and silent sinks to rest,
Wean'd from the tender Parent's breast.
3.
O, fonder than that Parent, see
Thy Maker, Israel , cherish Thee:
To latest times on Him depend,
Thy Guide, thy Guardian, and thy Friend.
Thine eyes, my God, nor lofty mind
Nor haughty look in me shall find,
Nor Earth's vain pomp attracts my view,
Nor Honour's prize my thoughts pursue.
2.
Behold me of affections mild,
Behold me humble as the Child,
That meek and silent sinks to rest,
Wean'd from the tender Parent's breast.
3.
O, fonder than that Parent, see
Thy Maker, Israel , cherish Thee:
To latest times on Him depend,
Thy Guide, thy Guardian, and thy Friend.
