Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#428

428. Your Words to Me Are Life and Health

1 Your words to me are life and health,
put strength into my soul;
enable, guide, and teach my heart
to reach its perfect goal.

2 Your words to me are light and truth;
from day to day I know
their wisdom, passing human thought,
as in their truth I grow.

3 Your words to me are full of joy,
of beauty, peace, and grace;
from them I learn Your perfect will,
through them I see Your face.

4 Your words are perfected in one,
Yourself, the living Word;
print Your own image in my heart
in clearest lines, my Lord.
