The Law That the Lord Has Ordained

The law that the Lord has or­dained

Is per­fect

the soul to re­store;

His truth makes the sim­ple most wise

The truth that is sure ev­er­more.

His pre­cepts are right­eous and just

Rejoicing the heart and the mind;

And all His com­mand­ments are pure

Enlightening the eyes of the blind.

The fear of the Lord is most clean

Forever un­moved it has stood;

His judg­ments are per­fect­ly true

In all things most right­eous and good.

Such trea­sure no gold can sup­ply

Such sweet­ness no ho­ney af­ford

Their warn­ings none heed and obey

But find most abun­dant re­ward.

O who can his er­rors dis­cern?

From hid­den faults

Lord

keep me free;

Let pride nev­er reign in my heart

And clear of great sin I shall be.

I pray that my words and my thought

My all with Thy pre­cepts ac­cord

And ev­er be pleas­ing to Thee

My Rock

my Re­deem­er

my Lord.
