The Cyber Hymnal ‎#11129

11129. Lord, I Esteem Thy Judgments Right

1 Lord, I esteem Thy judgments right,
And all Thy statutes just;
Thence I maintain a constant fight
With every flattering lust.

2 Thy precepts often I survey;
I keep Thy law in sight,
Through all the business of the day,
To form my actions right.

3 My heart in midnight silence cries,
"How sweet Thy comforts be!"
My thoughts in holy wonder rise,
And bring their thanks to Thee.

4 And when my spirit drinks her fill
At some good word of Thine,
Not mighty men that share the spoil
Have joys compared to mine.
