Instruct me in thy statutes, Lord

Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119:33-40 Lyrics: 33 Instruct me in thy statutes, Lord, Thy righteous paths display; And I from them, through all my life, Will never go astray. 34 If thou true wisdom from above Wilt graciously impart, To keep thy perfect laws I will Devote my zealous heart. 35 Direct me in the sacred ways To which thy precepts lead; Because my chief delight has been Thy righteous paths to tread. 36 Do thou to thy most just commands Incline my willing heart; Let no desire of worldly wealth From thee my thoughts divert. 37 From those vain objects turn my eyes, Which this false world displays; But give me lively pow'r and strength To keep thy righteous ways. 38 Confirm the promise which thou mad'st, And give thy servant aid, Who to transgress thy sacred laws Is awfully afraid. 39 The foul disgrace I justly fear, In mercy, Lord, remove; For all the judgments thou ordain'st Are full of grace and love. 40 Thou know'st how after thy commands My longing heart does pant; O then make haste to raise me up, And promis'd succour grant.

Psalm 119 Part 5

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 193 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119 First Line: O how I love thy holy law! Lyrics: O how I love thy holy law! 'Tis daily my delight; And thence my meditations draw Divine advice by night. My waking eyes prevent the day To meditate thy word; My soul with longing melts away To hear thy gospel, Lord. How doth thy word my heart engage! How well employ my tongue! And in my tiresome pilgrimage, Yields me a heav'nly song. Am I a stranger or at home, 'Tis my perpetual feast; Not honey dropping from the comb So much allures the taste. No treasures so enrich the mind; Nor shall thy word be sold For loads of silver well refined, Nor heaps of choicest gold. When nature sinks, and spirits droop, Thy promises of grace Are pillars to support my hope, And there I write thy praise.

Psalm 119 Part 3

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 170 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119 First Line: Thou art my portion, O my God Lyrics: Thou art my portion, O my God; Soon as I know thy way, My heart makes haste t' obey thy word, And suffers no delay. I choose the path of heav'nly truth, And glory in my choice; Not all the riches of the earth Could make me so rejoice. The testimonies of thy grace I set before my eyes; Thence I derive my daily strength, And there my comfort lies. If once I wander from thy path, I think upon my ways, Then turn my feet to thy commands, And trust thy pard'ning grace. Now I am thine, for ever thine, O save thy servant, Lord; Thou art my shield, my hiding-place; My hope is in thy word. Thou hast inclined this heart of mine Thy statutes to fulfil; And thus, till mortal life shall end, Would I perform thy will.

Psalm 119 Part 7

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 133 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119 First Line: Let all the heathen writers join Lyrics: Let all the heathen writers join To form one perfect book; Great God! if once compared with thine, How mean their writings look! Not the most perfect rules they gave Could show one sin forgiv'n, Nor lead a step beyond the grave; But thine conduct to heav'n. I've seen an end to what we call Perfection here below; How short the powers of nature fall, And can no further go! Yet men would fain be just with God By works their hands have wrought; But thy commands, exceeding broad, Extend to every thought. In vain we boast perfection here, While sin defiles our frame, And sinks our virtues down so far, They scarce deserve the name. Our faith, and love, and every grace, Fall far below thy word; But perfect truth and righteousness Dwell only with the Lord. Topics: Nature and Scripture; Scripture compared with the book of nature; Instruction from Scripture; Scripture perfection
