While through the Promises I rove,
With ever-fresh Delight.

Where Springs of Life arise,
Seeds of immortal Bliss are sown,
And hidden Glory lies.

Our fairest Hope beyond the Grave,
And our eternal Rest.

O how I love thy holy Law
Appears in 193 hymnals Topics: Counsel and Support from God Lyrics: 1 O how I love thy holy Law;
'Tis daily my Delight;
And thence my Meditations draw
Divine Advice by Night.
2 My waking Eyes prevent the Day
To meditate thy Word;
My Soul with Longing melts away
To hear thy Gospel, Lord.
3 How doth thy Word my Heart engage?
How well employ my Tongue?
And in my tiresome Pilgrimage
Yields me a heav'nly Song.
4 Am I a Stranger, or at Home;
'Tis my perpetual Feast;
Not Honey dropping from the Comb
So much allures the Taste.
5 No Treasures so enrich the Mind;
Nor shall thy Word be sold
For Loads of Silver well refin'd,
Nor Heaps of choicest Gold.
6 When Nature sinks, and Spirits droop,
Thy Promises of Grace
Are Pillars to support my Hope,
And there I write thy Praise. Scripture: Psalm 119:13

They watch my feet with envious eyes,
And tempt my soul to snares and sin,
Yet thy commands I ne'er decline.

Till pride and malice die with shame. Scripture: Psalm 119:78

And guard their lives from sin?
Thy word the choicest rules imparts
To keep the conscience clean.
2 When once it enters to the mind,
It spreads such light abroad,
The meanest souls instruction find,
And raise their thoughts to God.

That guides us all the day;
And through the dangers of the night,
A lamp to lead our way.
4 The men that keep thy law with care,
And meditate thy word,
Grow wiser than their teachers are,
And better know the Lord.
5 Thy precepts make me truly wise:
I hate the sinner's road;
I hate my own vain thoughts that rise,
But love thy law, my God.
6 [The starry heavens thy rule obey,
The earth maintains her place;
And these thy servants night and day
Thy skill and power express.
7 But still thy law, and gospel, Lord,
Have lessons more divine;
Not earth stands firmer than thy word,
Nor stars so nobly shine.]
8 Thy word is everlasting truth
How pure is every page!
That holy book shall guide our youth,
And well support our age.
Scripture: Psalm 119:9

Where the true God is known.

He fills my daily cup;

But more rejoice in hope.

And gentle hints by night.

He will defend my Cause.
