Hymnal: The Psalms of David #222 (1740) Topics: Delight in Law of God First Line: Lord, I have made thy Word my Choice Lyrics: 1 Lord, I have made thy Word my Choice,
My lasting Heritage;
There shall my noblest Pow'rs rejoice,
My warmest Thoughts engage.
2 I'll read the Hist'ries of thy Love,
And keep thy Laws in Sight,
While through the Promises I rove,
With ever-fresh Delight.

Where Springs of Life arise,
Seeds of immortal Bliss are sown,
And hidden Glory lies.

It makes our Sorrows blest;
Our fairest Hope beyond the Grave,
And our eternal Rest.

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #230 (1740) Topics: Delight in Law of God First Line: Father, I bless thy gentle Hand Lyrics: 1 Father, I bless thy gentle Hand;
How kind was thy chastizing rod,
That forc'd my Conscience to a Stand,
And brought my wand'ring Soul to GOD!

Ere I had felt thy Scourges, Lord;
I left my Guide, and lost my Way;
But now I love and keep thy Word.

For pride is apt to rise and swell;
'Tis good to bear my Father's Stroke,
That I might learn his Statutes well.

Shall raise my chearful Passions more
Than all the Treasures of the South,
Or Western Hills of golden Ore.
5 Thy Hands have made my mortal Frame,
Thy Spirit form'd my Soul within;
Teach me to know thy wond'rous Name,
And guard me safe from Death and Sin.
6 Then all that love and fear the Lord
At my Salvation shall rejoice;
For I have hoped in thy Word,
And made thy Grace my only Choice. Scripture: Psalm 119:67 Languages: English

Flow from thy faithful care.
