How I Love Thy Law, O Lord

How I love Thy law

O Lord!

Daily joy its truths af­ford;

In its con­stant light I go

Wise to con­quer ev­ery foe.

Thy com­mand­ments in my heart

Truest wis­dom can im­part;

To my eyes Thy pre­cepts show

Wisdom more than sag­es know.

While my heart Thy Word ob­eys

I am kept from ev­il ways;

From Thy law

with Thee to guide

I have nev­er turned aside.

Sweeter are Thy words to me

Than all oth­er good can be;

Safe I walk

Thy truth my light

Hating false­hood

lov­ing right.
