The New Christian Hymnal ‎#315

315. Most Perfect is the Law of God

1. Most perfect is the law of God,
Restoring those that stray;
His testimony is most sure,
Proclaiming wisdom's way.

Chorus:
O how love I Thy law!
O how love I Thy law!
It is my meditation all the day.
O how love I Thy law!
O how love I Thy law!
It is my meditation all the day.

2. The precepts of the Lord are right;
With joy they fill the heart;
The Lord's commandments all are pure,
And clearest light impart. [Chorus]

3. The fear of God is undefiled
And ever shall endure;
The statutes of the Lord are truth
And righteousness most pure. [Chorus]

4. They warn from ways of wickedness
Displeasuing to the Lord,
And in the keeping of his word
There is a great reward. [Chorus]
