LyicsLord, I have made thy word my choice,
My lasting heritage;
Here shall my noblest pow'rs rejoice,
My warmest thoughts engage.
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.
'Tis a broad land of wealth unknown,
Where springs of life arise;
Seeds of immortal bliss are sown,
And hidden glory lies.
The best relief that mourners have,
It makes our sorrows bless'd,
Our fairest hope beyond the grave,
And our eternal rest.
