Church Hymn Book ‎#P.CXIX.Nun

P.CXIX.Nun. Thy word is to my feet a lamp

105 Thy word is to my feet a lamp,
The way of truth to show;
A watch-light, to point out the path
In which I ought to go.

106 I swear, and from my solemn oath,
Will never start aside,
That in thy righteous judgments I
Will steadfastly abide.

107 Since I with griefs am so opprest,
That I can bear no more,
According to thy word do thou
My fainting soul restore.

108 Let still my sacrifice of praise
With thee acceptance find;
And in thy righteous judgments, Lord,
Instruct my willing mind.

109 Though ghastly dangers me surround,
My soul they cannot awe,
Nor with continual terrors keep
From thinking on thy law.

110 My wicked and invet'rate foes
For me their snares have laid;
Yet I have kept the upright path,
Nor from thy precepts stray'd.

111 Thy testimonies I have made
My heritage and choice;
For thy, when other comforts fail
My drooping heart rejoice.

112 My heart with early zeal began
Thy statutes to obey,
And till my course of life is done
Shall keep thy upright way.
