The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#208

208. O how I love thy holy law!

1 O how I love thy holy law!
'Tis daily my delight;
And thence my meditations draw
Divine and advice by night.

2 How doth thy word my heart engage!
How well employ my tongue!
And in my tiresome pilgrimage
Yields me a heavenly song.

3 No treasures so enrich the mind,
Nor shall thy word be sold,
For loads of silver well-refined,
Nor heaps of choicest gold.

4 When all the power of nature droop,
Thy promises of grace
Are pillars to support the hope
Of my abiding-place.
