The men that keep thy law with care, And meditate thy word, Grow wiser than their teachers are, And better know the Lord. Thy precepts make me truly wise: I hate the sinner's road; I hate my own vain thoughts that rise, But love thy law, my God.

But still thy law and gospel, Lord, Have lessons more divine; Not earth stands firmer than thy word, Nor stars so nobly shine.] Thy word is everlasting truth, How pure is every page! That holy book shall guide our youth, And well support our age. Scripture: Psalm 119 Languages: English
