LyicsO HOW I love thy holy law!
'Tis daily my delight;
And thence my meditations draw
Divine advice by night.
My waking eyes prevent the day,
To meditate thy word;
My soul with longing melts away,
To hear thy gospel, Lord.
Thy heav'nly words my heart engage,
And well employ my tongue,
And, through my weary pilgrimage,
Yield me a heav'nly song.
When nature sinks, and spirits droop,
Thy promises of grace
Are pillars to support my hope,
And there I write thy praise.
