1 Unspotted is the fear of God,
And ever doth endure;
The judgments of the Lord are truth,
And righteousness most pure.

Refrain:
O how love I Thy law,
O how love I Thy law;
It is my meditation all the day;
O how love I Thy law,
O how love I Thy law;
It is my meditation all the day.

2 They more than gold, yea, much fine gold,
To be desired are;
Than honey, from the honey-comb
That droppeth, sweeter far. [Refrain]

3 Moreover they Thy servant warn,
How he his life should frame.
A great reward provided is
For them that keep the same. [Refrain]

4 Who can his errors understand?
From secret faults me cleanse;
Thy servant also keep Thou back
From all presumptuous sins; [Refrain]

5 And do not suffer them to have
Dominion over me;
I shall be righteous, then, and from
The great transgression free. [Refrain]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
