Thou, Who Didst Make and Fashion Me

Thou

who didst make and fa­shion me

O make me wise Thy law to learn;

Then they that fear Thee shall be glad

When they my hope in God dis­cern.

Thou

Lord

art just in all Thy ways

And faith­ful when Thou chast­en­est me;

I pray Thee

let Thy pro­mised grace

Thy serv­ant’s help and com­fort be.

Show mer­cy

Lord

that I may live

For in Thy law is all my joy;

While those who wrong me are re­buked

Thy pre­cepts shall my thought em­ploy.

Let those that fear Thee turn to me

Thy truth to them will I pro­claim;

Instruct my heart to keep Thy law

That I may not be put to shame.
