LVIII. Delight in and Praise for the Holy Scriptures

1 I bless the Lord
Who gives his Word,
To rule and guide me right;
To hear him say,
Love and obey,
Affords supreme Delight.

2 A holy Joy,
Without Alloy,
With sacred Transport flows,
From Truth divine,
I feel it mine,
To give my Soul repose.

3 With sacred Love,
My Passions move,
I burn with strong Desire;
With holy Aim,
And inward Flame,
I feel my Soul on Fire.

4 By Grace refin'd,
My Soul inclin'd,
Shall consecrate my Days,
As due to none
But God alone,
And give him all the Praise.

4 By grace refin'd my soul inclin'd,
Shall consecrate my days,
As due to none but God alone,
And give him all the praise.
