My life, if thou preserv’st my life, Thy sacrifice shall be; And death, if death must be my doom, Shall join my soul to Thee. _Addison._ From common accidents of life His care shall guard thee still; From the blind strokes of chance, and foes That lie in wait to kill. At home, abroad, in peace, in war, Thy God shall thee _defend_; Conduct thee, through life’s pilgrimage, Safe to thy journey’s end. _Brady and Tate._ DELIGHT. _Delight_ thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desire of thine heart.--Psalm xxxvii. 4. Then I was by him, as one brought up with him; and I was daily his _delight_, rejoicing always before him; rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my _delights_ were with the sons of men.--Proverbs, viii. 30, 31. Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give _delight_ unto thy soul.--Proverbs, xxix. 17. O voice! once heard _Delightfully_, increase and multiply; Now death to him. _Milton._ Holy and reverend is the name Of our Eternal King: Thrice holy Lord! the angels cry; Thrice holy let us sing. Holy is He in all His works, And truth is His _delight_! But sinners and their wicked ways, Shall perish from His sight. _Needham._ And was the day of my _delight_ As pure and perfect as I say? We know the very Lord of Day Is dash’d with wandering isles of night. If all was good and fair we met, This earth had been a paradise; It never look’d to human eyes Since Adam left his garden yet. _Tennyson._ Amid a round of vain _delights_ he lived, And took his fill of pleasure; never thought That life had higher objects, nobler aims Than just to eat, and drink, and pass away The precious hours in revelry and mirth. Born to a priceless heritage, he went Down to his grave, and knew it not, and all The everlasting pleasures and _delights_ Of heaven he forfeited--great loss was his! _Egone._ DELIVERANCE. Thou art my King, O God: command _deliverances_ for Jacob.--Psalm xliv. 4. _Deliver_ me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.--Psalm lxxi. 4. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be _delivered_: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be _deliverance_, as the Lord hath said.--Joel, ii. 32.
