Jehovah's Perfect Law

Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 1:1 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.

Come to the Deep, Clear River

Author: A. L. Waring Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 1:3 Lyrics: 1 Come to the deep, clear river, Come where the pastures call, Give to the great, good Giver The trust that is thy all; From want eternal fleeing, Come to an endless store; Bring thy whole famished being, For he wants nothing more. 2 If thoughts of thine appall thee, Oh, lean on him and live; To sacrifice they call thee, While he is here to give; Accept thy Father’s measure, Of need that he can see; The heart to do his pleasure Is in his love for thee. 3 He will not now refuse thee, Weak hands and vision dim, For some things he will use thee, But first they wanted him. The spirit worn with straying Will find his judgment best; Oh, hear what he is saying, And yield thyself to rest. 4 For one transporting minute, The beck’ning word obey; There is a pow’r within it To bear thee on thy way; That voice of mercy speaking, Is God the Savior’s might, And all thy heart is seeking, Lies safely into light.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: 1 The truth which christians once receiv'd They never more should slight; The promises they once believ'd Should e'er be kept in sight. 2 The Saviour must b e still in view, His life to immitate; To serve the Lord in all they do, And humbly on him wait. 3 In christian virtues to abound, Should be their constant aim-- And all their actions should redound To shew the Saviours fame. 4 Engag'd with zeal on ev'ry hand, All vices to oppose! And ever-more prepar'd to stand, To conquer all such foes. 5 All base desires, lusts and pride, By faith must be subdu'd; Until the soul be sanctified, And the whole mind renew'd. 6 Whilst such in faith and love increase, They find establish'd rest; They will enjoy eternal peace, And be for ever bless'd.

The Lord Knoweth the Way

Author: E. E. Hewitt Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 1:6 First Line: The mountain-path is rough and steep Refrain First Line: He’ll walk beside me Lyrics: 1 The mountain-path is rough and steep, The Lord knoweth the way; His mighty arm my steps will keep, The Lord knoweth the way; And while I in his love abide, And ev’ry need to him confide, He says my feet shall never slide, The Lord knoweth the way. Refrain: He’ll walk beside me, He’ll gently guide me, My Saviour knoweth the way; Oh, let me to his hand cling fast Till earthly ills are overpast, And I shall reach his home at last, The Lord knoweth the way. 2 Thro’ sunshine bright or shadows dim, The Lord knoweth the way; I’ll leave the planning all to him, The Lord knoweth the way; Amid the windings of the road, He’ll choose the course, he’ll lift the load, And lead me to his blessed side, The Lord knoweth the way. [Refrain] 3 I’ll follow still the blood-stained track, The Lord knoweth the way; And “no good thing” my soul shall lack, The Lord knoweth the way; Then up and on, from vale to hill, Surrendered to my Saviour’s will, His blessed purpose he’ll fulfill, The Lord knoweth the way.
