1 Eternal and unerring Rules
Thy Testimonies give:
Teach me the Wisdom, that will make
My Soul for ever live.

2 Teach me the sacred Skill, by which
Right Judgment I may gain;
And in the Way of thy Commands
I'll stedfastly remain.

3 My Feet with Care I will refrain
From ev'ry evil Way,
And, to thy sacred Word alone,
Entire Obedience pay.

4 To my repeated humble Pray'r
Attend, O gracious Lord!
Inspire my Heart with heav'nly Skill,
According to thy word.
