Instruct me in thy statutes, Lord

Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119:33-40 Lyrics: 33 Instruct me in thy statutes, Lord, Thy righteous paths display; And I from them, through all my life, Will never go astray. 34 If thou true wisdom from above Wilt graciously impart, To keep thy perfect laws I will Devote my zealous heart. 35 Direct me in the sacred ways To which thy precepts lead; Because my chief delight has been Thy righteous paths to tread. 36 Do thou to thy most just commands Incline my willing heart; Let no desire of worldly wealth From thee my thoughts divert. 37 From those vain objects turn my eyes, Which this false world displays; But give me lively pow'r and strength To keep thy righteous ways. 38 Confirm the promise which thou mad'st, And give thy servant aid, Who to transgress thy sacred laws Is awfully afraid. 39 The foul disgrace I justly fear, In mercy, Lord, remove; For all the judgments thou ordain'st Are full of grace and love. 40 Thou know'st how after thy commands My longing heart does pant; O then make haste to raise me up, And promis'd succour grant.

The Spirit breathes upon the word

Author: Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 263 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119:130 Lyrics: 1 The Spirit breathes upon the word, And brings the truth to sight; Precepts and promises afford A sanctifying light. 2 A glory gilds the sacred page, Majestic, like the sun; It gives a light to every age;-- It gives, but borrows none. 3 The hand that gave it still supplies The gracious light and heat; Its truths upon the nations rise;-- They rise, but never set. 4 Let everlasting thanks be thine, For such a bright display As makes a world of darkness shine With beams of heavenly day. 5 My soul rejoices to pursue The steps of him I love, Till glory breaks upon my view, In bright worlds above.
