162. Thy Word Have I Hid in My Heart

1 Thy Word is a lamp to my feet,
A light to my path alway,
To guide and to save me from sin,
And show me the heav'nly way.

Refraiin:
Thy Word have I hid in my heart,
That I might not sin against Thee;
That I might not sin, that I might not sin,
Thy Word have I hid in my heart.

2 Forever, O Lord, is Thy Word
Established and fixed on high;
Thy faithfulness unto all men
Abideth for ever nigh. (Refrain)

3 At morning, at noon, and at night
I ever will give Thee praise;
For Thou art my portion, O Lord,
And shall be thro' all my days! (Refrain)

4 Thro' Him whom Thy Word hath foretold,
The Saviour and Morning Star,
Salvation and peace have been bro't
To those who have strayed afar. (Refrain)
