3 O, send thy light and truth abroad, In all their radiant blaze; And bid the admiring world adore The glories of thy grace. 14 C. M. O, how I love thy law. Psalm 119:97. O how I love thy holy law! ’Tis daily my delight; And thence my meditations draw Divine advice by night. 2 I wake before the dawn of day, To meditate thy word; My soul with longing melts away, To bear thy gospel, Lord. 3 How doth thy word my heart engage, How well employ my tongue; And in my tiresome pilgrimage, Yields me a heavenly song. 4 When nature sinks, and spirits droop, Thy promises of grace Are pillars to support my hope, And there I write thy praise. 15 C. M. Wherewithal shall a young man, etc. Psalm 119:9. How shall the young secure their hearts, And guard their lives from sin? Thy word the choicest rules imparts To keep the conscience clean. 2 ’Tis like the sun, a heavenly light, That guides us all the day, And through the dangers of the night, A lamp to lead our way. 3 Thy precepts make us truly wise; We hate the sinner’s road; We hate our own vain thoughts that rise, But love the law, O God. 4 Thy word is everlasting truth; How pure is every page! That holy book shall guide our youth And well support our age. 16 C. M. Word of the everlasting God. Lamp of our feet! whereby we trace Our path when wont to stray; Stream from the fount of heavenly grace! Brook by the traveler’s way! 2 Bread of our souls, whereon we feed! True manna from on high! Our guide and chart! wherein we read Of realms beyond the sky. 3 Pillar of fire through watches dark, And radiant cloud by day! When waves would whelm our tossing bark, Our anchor and our stay! 4 Word of the everlasting God! Will of his glorious Son! Without thee how could earth be trod, Or heaven itself be won? 17 C. M. Quicken me according to thy word. Psalm 119:25. O Lord, thy precepts I survey: I keep thy law in sight, Through all the business of the day, To form my actions right. 2 My heart in midnight silence cries, “How sweet thy comforts be!” My thoughts in holy wonder rise, And bring their thanks to thee. 18 S. M. The law of the Lord is perfect. Psalm 19:7. O Lord, thy perfect word Directs our steps aright; Nor can all other books afford Such profit or delight.
