221a. Holiness and Comfort from the Word

1 Lord, I esteem thy Judgments right,
And all thy Statutes just;
Thence I maintain a constant Fight
With ev'ry flatt'ring Lust.

2 Thy Precepts often I survey;
I keep thy Law in Sight,
Through all the Business of the Day,
To form my Actions right.

3 My Heart in Midnight Silence cries,
"How sweet thy Comforts be;"
My Thoughts in holy Wonder rise,
And bring their Thanks to Thee.

4 And when my Spirit drinks her Fill
At some good Word of thine,
Not mighty Men that share the Spoil
Have Joys compar'd to mine.
