| Text: | The Enlightening Power of the Word |
| Tune: | REPENTANCE |
| Composer: | Theodore E. Perkins |
1 Thy word sheds light upon my path;
A shining light, it guides my feet;
Thy righteous judgments to observe
My solemn vow I now repeat.
2 In my distress I plead with Thee,
Send help according to Thy Word;
Accept my sacrifice of praise
And make me know Thy judgments, Lord.
3 In danger oft and nigh to death,
Thy law remembered is my aid.
The wicked seek my overthrow,
Yet from Thy truth I have not strayed.
4 Thy precepts are my heritage,
For daily they my heart rejoice;
To keep Thy statutes faithfully
Shall ever be my willing choice.
