Appears in 193 hymnals Topics: Law of God Delight in in; Delight in the law of God; Law of God Delight in in; Delight in the law of God First Line: Oh how I love thy holy law! Lyrics: 1 Oh how I love thy holy law! 'Tis daily my delight; And thence my meditations draw Divine advice by night. 2 My waking eyes prevent the day To meditate thy word; My soul with longing melts away To hear thy gospel, Lord. 3 Thy heavenly words my heart engage, And well imploy my tongue, And in my tiresome pilgrimage Yield me a heavenly song. 4 Am I a stranger, or at home, 'Tis my perpetual feast; Not honey dropping from the comb So much allures the taste. 5 No treasures so enrich the mind; Nor shall thy word be sold For loads of silver well refin'd, Nor heaps of choicest gold. 6 When nature sinks, and spirits droop, Thy promises of grace Are pillars to support my hope, And there I write thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 119:175

Why didst thou meet the tempter's power, Why, Jesus, in thy dying hour, Endure such agony? 3 To save us by thy precious blood, To make us one in thee, That ours might be thy perfect life, Thy thorny crown, thy cross, thy strife, And ours the victory. 4 Oh, make us worthy, gracious Lord, Of all thy love to be; To thy blest will our wills incline, That unto death we may be thine, And ever live in thee.

Author: Mrs. L. D. A. Stuttle Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Worship Law of God Lyrics: 1 O law of God! blest and divine! Penned by the Everlasting Hand! Long shall thy sacred precepts shine, Firm as the eternal hills shall stand. 2 God's covenant shall e'er abide, Though heaven and earth shall pass away; That rule which is the angel's guide Shall I not fear to disobey? 3 With all my power, from morn till night, I'll publish 'mong the sons of men That sacred law, though others scorn To keep thy holy precepts ten. 4 O that an angel's tongue were mine! Then would I magnify that word, Which, echoing from lips divine, From Sinai's rugged mount was heard. 5 And when old earth shall be restored To Eden beauty, fair and bright, And God himself shall dwell with men, Still in that law shall I delight.
