Thou, Lord, Hast Dealt Well with Thy Servant

Thou

Lord

hast dealt well with Thy serv­ant

Thy pro­mise is faith­ful and just;

Instruct me in judg­ment and know­ledge

For in Thy com­mand­ments I trust.

Before my af­flict­ion I wan­dered

But now Thy good Word I ob­ey;

O Thou who art ho­ly and gra­cious

Now teach me Thy sta­tutes

I pray.

The proud have as­sailed me with slan­der;

Thy pre­cepts shall still be my guide;

Thy law is my joy and my trea­sure

Though sin­ners may boast in their pride.

Affliction has been for my pro­fit

That I to Thy sta­tutes might hold;

Thy law to my soul is more pre­cious

Than thou­sands of sil­ver and gold.
