Words: Paraphrased from Psalm 119; author unknown.
Music: "Brookfield," Thomas Bishop Southgate, 1855
Thy wondrous testimonies, Lord,
My soul will keep and greatly praise;
Thy Word, by faithful lips proclaimed,
To simplest minds the truth conveys.
I thirst for Thy commandments, Lord,
And for Thy mercy press my claim;
O look on me, and show the grace
Displayed to all who love Thy Name.
Direct my footsteps in Thy Word,
From sin's dominion save my soul,
From man's oppression set me free,
That I may yield to Thy control.
O make Thy face to shine on me,
And teach me all Thy laws to keep;
Because Thy statutes are despised,
With overwhelming grief I weep.
