O how I love thy holy Law
Appears in 193 hymnals Topics: Counsel and Support from God Lyrics: 1 O 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 How doth thy Word my Heart engage?
How well employ my Tongue?
And in my tiresome Pilgrimage
Yields me a heav'nly 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 119:13

Instruction from Scripture
Appears in 484 hymnals Topics: Counsel and Support form God; Counsel and Support form God First Line: How shall the young secure their hearts Lyrics: 1 How shall the young secure their hearts,
And guard their lives from sin?
Thy word the choicest rules imparts
To keep the conscience clean.
2 When once it enters to the mind,
It spreads such light abroad,
The meanest souls instruction find,
And raise their thoughts to God.
3 'Tis like the sun, a heavenly light,
That guides us all the day;
And through the dangers of the night,
A lamp to lead our way.
4 The men that keep thy law with care,
And meditate thy word,
Grow wiser than their teachers are,
And better know the Lord.
5 Thy precepts make me truly wise:
I hate the sinner's road;
I hate my own vain thoughts that rise,
But love thy law, my God.
6 [The starry heavens thy rule obey,
The earth maintains her place;
And these thy servants night and day
Thy skill and power express.
7 But still thy law, and gospel, Lord,
Have lessons more divine;
Not earth stands firmer than thy word,
Nor stars so nobly shine.]
8 Thy word is everlasting truth
How pure is every page!
That holy book shall guide our youth,
And well support our age.
Scripture: Psalm 119:9

And tempt my soul to snares and sin,
Yet thy commands I ne'er decline.

They hate to see me love thy laws;
But I will trust and fear thy name,
Till pride and malice die with shame. Scripture: Psalm 119:78

Who will arise and plead my right
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: God our Support and Comfort Lyrics: 7 Who will arise and plead my right
Against my num'rous foes?
While earth and hell their force unite,
And all my hopes oppose.
8 Had not the Lord, my rock, my help,
Sustain'd my fainting head,
My life had now in silence dwelt,
My soul amongst the dead.
9 Alas! my sliding feet! I cri'd,
Thy promise bore me up;
Thy grace stood constant by my side,
And rais'd my sinking hope.
10 While multitudes of mournful thoughts
Within my bosom roll,
Thy boundless love forgives my faults,
Thy comforts cheer my soul.
11 Pow'rs of iniquity may rise,
And frame pernicious laws;
But God my refuge rules the skies,
He will defend my cause.
12 Let malice vent her rage aloud,
Let bold blasphemers scoff;
The Lord our God shall judge the proud,
And cut the sinners off.
Scripture: Psalm 94:7-12
Who will arise and plead my right
