“Oh that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!” -Psalm 119:5
1 Mercy and judgement will I sing,
I sing, O Lord, to Thee;
O when wilt Thou descend and bring,
Thy light and like to me
2 A perfect way in wisdom trod,
A perfect heart at home,
A way, a heart, a house, O God,
I seek, where Thou will come.
- I seek the faithful and the just;
May I their help enjoy!
Be these the friends in whom I trust
The servant I employ!
4 From lies, from slander, and deceit,
My dwelling shall be free;
May it be found a dwelling meet,
O righteous Lord, for Thee!
