1 Thou art my portion, O my God!
Soon as I know Thy way,
My heart makes haste to obey Thy Word,
And suffers no delay.

2 I choose the path of heavenly truth
And glory in my choice;
Not all the riches of the earth
Could make me so rejoice.

3 The testimonies of Thy grace
I set before mine eyes;
Thence I derive my daily strength,
And there my comfort lies.

4 If I once wander from Thy path,
I think upon my ways;
Then turn my feet to Thy commands,
And trust Thy pardoning grace.

5 Now I am Thine, forever Thine;
O save Thy servant Lord!
Thou art my shield, my hiding place,
My hope is in Thy Word.

Amen.
