Desire of Knowedge

Appears in 70 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119:33-34 First Line: Thy mercies fill the earth, O Lord Lyrics: 1 Thy mercies fill the earth, O Lord, How good thy works appear! Open mine eyes to read thy word, And see thy wonders there. 2 My heart was fashion'd by thy hand, My service is thy due, Oh make thy servant understand The duties he must do. 3 Since I'm a stranger here below, Let not thy path be hid, But mark the road my feet should go, And be my constant guide 4 When I confess'd my wandering ways, Thou heardst my soul complain; Grant me the teachings of thy grace, Or I shall stray again. 5 If GOD to me his statutes shew, And heavenly truth impart, His work forever I'll pursue, His law shall rule my heart. 6 This was my comfort when I bore Variety of grief; It made me learn thy word the more, And fly to that relief. 7 [In vain the proud deride me now; I'll ne'er forget thy law, Nor let that blessed gospel go, Whence all my hopes I draw. 8 When I have learn'd my Father's will, I'll teach the world his ways; My thankful lips, inspir'd with zeal, Shall sing aloud his praise.]
