If you know when the words or mu­sic were writ­ten, the au­thor’s name, or where to get a pic­ture of him


Most perfect is the law of God,
Restoring those that stray;
His testimony is most sure,
Proclaiming wisdom’s way.

Refrain

O how I love Thy law!
O how I love Thy law!
It is my meditation all the day.
O how I love Thy law!
O how I love Thy law!
It is my meditation all the day.

The precepts of the Lord are right;
With joy they fill the heart;
The Lord’s commandments all are pure,
And clearest light impart.

Refrain

The fear of God is undefiled
And ever shall endure;
The statutes of the Lord are truth
And righteousness most pure.

Refrain

They warn from ways of wickedness
Displeasing to the Lord,
And in the keeping of His Word
There is a great reward.
