Lyics

GOD'S law is perfect, and converts

The soul in sin that lies;

God's testimony is most sure,

And makes the simple wise.



The statutes of the Lord are right,

And do rejoice the heart;

The Lord's command is pure, and doth

Light to the eyes impart.



Unspotted is the fear of God,

And doth endure for ever;

The judgments of the Lord are true

And righteous altogether.



They more than gold, yea, much fine gold,

To be desired are;

Than honey, honey from the comb

That droppeth, sweeter far.



Moreover, they thy servant teach

How he his life should frame;

A great reward provided is

For them that keep the same.
