Representative Text

1 Thy wondrous testimonies, Lord,
My soul will keep and greatly praise;
Thy word, by faithful lips proclaimed,

And for Thy mercy press my claim;
O look on me, and show the grace

3 Direct my footsteps in Thy word,
From sin's dominion save my soul,
From man's oppression set me free,
That I may yield to Thy control.

4 O make Thy face to shine on me,
And teach me all thy laws to keep;
Because Thy statutes are despised,
With overwhelming grief I weep.
