Words: Paraphrase of Psalm 119; author unknown. Music: Wilmot, ; arranged by , Carmina Sacra (Boston, Massachusetts: J. H. Wilkins & R. B. Carter, 1844). |
Lord, Thy Word to me remember,
Thou hast made me hope in Thee;
This my comfort in affliction,
That Thy Word has quickened me.
Mocked by those who are unrighteous,
Still to Thy commands I cleave;
Thinking on Thy former judgments,
Help and comfort I receive.
Wicked men, Thy law forsaking,
Stirred my indignation strong;
For in all my pilgrim journey
Thy commandments are my song.
Thou hast been my meditation
And Thy law has been my guide;
I have kept Thy righteous precepts,
And have found them true and tried.
