1 Lord, I have made thy word my choice,
My lasting heritage;
There shall my noblest pow'rs rejoice,
My warmest thoughts engage.
2 I'll read the hist'ries of thy love,
And keep thy laws in sight,
While thro' the promises I rove,
With ever-fresh delight.
3 'Tis a broad land of wealth unknow,
Where springs of life arise,
Seeds of immortal bliss are sown,
And hidden glory lies.
4 The best relief that mourners have;
It makes our sorrows blest;
Our fairest hope beyond the grave,
And our eternal rest.
