Hymnal: DWIP1790 #261b (1790) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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.
3 The testimonies of thy grace
I set before my eyes:
Thence I derive my daily strength,
And there my comfort lies.
4 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.
5 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.
6 Thou hast inclin'd this heart of mine
Thy statutes to fulfil:
And thus, till mortal life shall end,
Would I perform thy will. Scripture: Psalm 119:57 Languages: English
Thou art my portion, O my God
