I love the volume of thy word

Author: Watts Appears in 175 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119 Lyrics: 1 I love the volume of thy word; What light and joy those leaves afford To souls benighted and distressed! Thy precepts guide my doubtful way, Thy fear forbids my feet to stray, Thy promise leads my heart to rest. 2 From the discoveries of thy law, Thy perfect rules of life I draw: These are my study and delight; Not honey so invites the taste, Nor gold that has the furnace passed, Appears so pleasing to the sight. 3 Who knows the errors of his thoughts? My God! forgive my secret faults, And from presumptuous sins restrain; Accept my poor attempts of praise, That I have read thy book of grace, And book of nature, not in vain.

Author: Edwin Hodder Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 157 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119 Lyrics: 1 Your Word is like a garden, Lord, with flowers bright and fair; and everyone who seeks may pluck a lovely cluster there.

Your Word is like an armory, where soldiers may repair, and find, for life's long battle day, all needful weapons there. 3 O may I love your precious Word, may I explore the mine, may I its fragrant flowers glean, may light upon me shine. O may I find my armor there, your Word my trusty sword; I'll learn to fight with every foe the battle of the Lord.

The Man Is Ever Blessed

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119:35 Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blessed Who shuns the sinners' ways, Among their counsels never stands, Nor takes the scorners' place. 2 But makes the Law of God His study and delight Amid the labors of the day And watches of the night. 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root; Fresh as the leaf his name shall live, His works are heav'nly fruit. 4 Not so the wicked race, They no such blessings find; Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How will they bear to stand Before the judgment seat Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and He approves The way the righteous go; But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overflow.

With my whole heart I'll raise my song

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119 Lyrics: With my whole heart I've sought thy face: O let me never stray From thy commands, O God of grace, Nor tread the sinner's way.

I'm a companion of the saints Who fear and love the Lord; My sorrows rise, my nature faints, When men transgress thy word. While sinners do thy gospel wrong My spirit stands in awe; My soul abhors a lying tongue, But loves thy righteous law. My heart with sacred rev'rence hears The threat'nings of thy word; My flesh with holy trembling fears The judgments of the Lord. My God, I long, I hope, I wait, For thy salvation still; While thy whole law is my delight, And I obey thy will.
