THY WORD IS

Thy word is to my feet a lamp,

And to my path a light.

I sworn have, and I will perform,

To keep Thy judgements right.

I am with sore affliction

Even overwhelmed, O Lord:

In mercy raise and quicken me,

According to Thy word.

The free-will-offerings of my mouth

Accept, I Thee beseech:

And unto me Thy servant, Lord,

Thy judgements clearly teach.

Though still my soul be in my hand,

Thy laws I‟ll not forget.

I erred not from them, though for me

The wicked snares did set.

I of Thy testimonies have

Above all things made choice,

To be my heritage for aye;

For they my heart rejoice.

I carefully inclined have

My heart still to attend;

That I Thy statutes may perform

Alway unto the end.
