Oh, how I love thy holy law!

Hymnal: Songs for the Sanctuary #207 (1868) Scripture: Psalm 119 Topics: The Scriptures; Meditation

Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #10 (1873) 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.

Psalm 119 Part 3

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.266 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 119 First Line: Thou art my portion, O my God Lyrics: 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. 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. The testimonies of thy grace I set before my eyes; Thence I derive my daily strength, And there my comfort lies. 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. 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. Thou hast inclined this heart of mine Thy statutes to fulfil; And thus, till mortal life shall end, Would I perform thy will.

Your Word Is like a Garden, Lord

Author: Edwin Hodder Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #139 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D 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 a deep, deep mine; and jewels rich and rare are hidden in its mighty depths for every searcher there. 2 Your Word is like a starry host; a thousand rays of light are seen to guide the traveler, and make his pathway bright. 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.

Psalm 119 Part 7

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.270 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 119 First Line: Let all the heathen writers join Lyrics: Let all the heathen writers join To form one perfect book; Great God! if once compared with thine, How mean their writings look! Not the most perfect rules they gave Could show one sin forgiv'n, Nor lead a step beyond the grave; But thine conduct to heav'n. I've seen an end to what we call Perfection here below; How short the powers of nature fall, And can no further go! Yet men would fain be just with God By works their hands have wrought; But thy commands, exceeding broad, Extend to every thought. In vain we boast perfection here, While sin defiles our frame, And sinks our virtues down so far, They scarce deserve the name. Our faith, and love, and every grace, Fall far below thy word; But perfect truth and righteousness Dwell only with the Lord.
