1 How I love Thy law, O Lord!

Daily joy its truths afford.

In its constant light I go,

Wise to conquer ev’ry foe.

 

[Refrain]

Sweeter are Thy words to me

Than all other good can be;

Safe I walk, Thy truth my light,

Hating falsehood, loving right.

 

2 Thy commandments in my heart

Truest wisdom can impart;

To mine eyes Thy precepts show

Wisdom more than sages know. [Refrain]

 

3 While my heart Thy word obeys,

I am kept from evil ways;

From Thy law, with Thee to guide,

I have never turned aside. [Refrain]
