The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#211

211. O that thy statutes every hour

1 O that thy statutes every hour
Might dwell upon my mind!
Thence I derive a quickening power,
And daily peace I find.

2 To mediate thy precepts, Lord,
Shall be my sweet employ;
My soul shall ne'er forget thy word;
It is my constant joy.

3 My lips with courage shall declare
Thy statutes and thy name;
I'll speak thy word, though kings should hear,
Nor yield to sinful shame.
