Delight in Scripture; or, The Word of God dwelling in us
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #220 (1740) Topics: Delight in Law of God First Line: O how I love thy holy Law Lyrics: 1 O how I love thy holy Law;
'Tis daily my delight;
And thence my Meditations draw
Divine advice by Night.
2 My waking Eyes prevent the Day
To meditate thy Word;
My Soul with Longing melts away
To hear thy Gospel, Lord.
3 How doth thy Word my Heart engage!
How well employ my Tongue!
And in my tiresome Pilgrimage,
Yields me a heav'nly song.
4 Am I a Stranger or at Home,
'Tis my perpetual Feast;
Not Honey dropping from the Comb
So much allures the Taste.

Nor shall thy Word be sold
For Loads of Silver well refin'd,
Nor Heaps of choicest Gold.
6 When Nature sinks, and Spirits droop,
Thy Promises of Grace
Are Pillars to support my Hope,
And there I write thy Praise. Scripture: Psalm 119:97 Languages: English

How shall the Young secure their Hearts

It spreads such Light abroad,
The meanest Souls Instruction find,
And raise their Thoughts to GOD.

That guides us all the Day;
And through the Dangers of the Night,
A Lamp to lead our Way.

And meditate thy Word,
Grow wiser than their Teachers are,
And better know the Lord.
5 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.
6 [The starry Heav'ns thy Rule obey,
The Earth maintains her Place;
And these thy Servants Night and Day
Thy Skill and Pow'r express.
7 But still thy Law and Gospel, Lord,
Have Lessons more divine:
Not Earth stands firmer than thy Word,
Nor Stars so nobly shine.]

How pure is ev'ry Page!
That holy Book shall guide our Youth,
And well support our Age. Scripture: Psalm 119:99-100 Languages: English
How shall the Young secure their Hearts
