O that thy Statutes ev'ry Hour

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P119o (1766) Lyrics: 1 O that thy Statutes ev'ry Hour Might dwell upon my Mind! Thence I derive a quick'ning Pow'r, And daily Peace I find. 2 To meditate thy Precepts, Lord, Shall be my sweet Employ; My Soul shall ne'er forget thy Word, Thy Word is all my Joy. 3 How would I run in thy Commands, If thou my Heart discharge From Sin and Satan's hateful Chains, And set my Feet at large? 4 My Lips with Courage shall declare Thy Statutes and thy Name; I'll speak thy Word, though Kings should hear, Nor yield to sinful Shame. 5 Let Bands of Persecutors rise To rob me of my Right, Let Pride and Malice forge their Lies, Thy Law is my Delight. 6 Depart from me, ye wicked Race, Whose Hands and Hearts are ill; I love my GOD, I love his Ways, And must obey his Will.
