Jehovah's Perfect Law

Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Self-Examination Lyrics: 1 Jehovah's perfect law restores the soul again; his testimony sure gives wisdom unto men; the precepts of the Lord are right, and fill the heart with great delight. 2 The Lord's commands are pure, they light and joy restore; Jehovah's fear is clean, enduring evermore; his statutes, let the world confess, are wholly truth and righteousness. 3 They are to be desired above the finest gold; than honey from the comb more sweetness far they hold; with warnings they your servant guard, in keeping them is great reward. 4 His errors who can know? Cleanse me from hidden stain; keep me from wilful sins, nor let them o'er me reign; and then I upright shall appear and be from great transgressions clear. 5 Whene'er you search my life, may all my thoughts within and all the words I speak your full approval win. O Lord, you are a Rock to me, and my Redeemer you shall be. Scripture: Psalm 1:1 Used With Tune: HUTCHBY Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912; alt. 1990, mod.
