Jehovah’s Perfect Law

Jehovah’s per­fect law

Restores the soul again;

His tes­ti­mo­ny sure

Gives wis­dom un­to men;

The pre­cepts of the Lord are right

And fill the heart with great de­light.

The Lord’s com­mands are pure

They light and joy re­store;

Jehovah’s fear is clean

Enduring ev­er­more;

His sta­tutes

let the world con­fess

Are whol­ly truth and right­eous­ness.

They are to be de­sired

Above the fin­est gold;

Than hon­ey from the comb

More sweet­ness far they hold;

With warn­ings they Thy serv­ant guard

In keep­ing them is great re­ward.

His er­rors who can know?

Cleanse me from hid­den stain;

Keep me from will­ful sins

Nor let them o’er me reign;

And then I up­right shall ap­pear

And be from great trans­gress­ions clear.

When Thou dost search my life

May all my thoughts with­in

And all the words I speak

Thy full ap­prov­al win.

O Lord

Thou art a rock to me

And my Re­deem­er Thou shalt be.
