The perfect law

Verse 1

The law that the Lord has ordained Is perfect, the soul to restore; His truth makes the simple most wise, The truth that is sure evermore.

Verse 2

His precepts are righteous and just, Rejoicing the heart and the mind; And all His commandments are pure, Enlightening the eyes of the blind.

Verse 3

The fear of the Lord is most clean, Forever unmoved it has stood; His judgments are perfectly true, In all things most righteous and good.

Verse 4

Such treasure no gold can supply, Such sweetness no honey afford; Their warnings none heed and obey But find most abundant reward.

Verse 5

O who can his errors discern? From hidden faults, Lord, keep me free; Let pride never reign in my heart, And clear of great sin I shall be.

Verse 6

I pray that my words and my thoughts May all with Thy precepts accord, And ever be pleasing to Thee, My rock, my Redeemer, my Lord.
