Pleasant Paths

Tune: Nun Danket

(\'Now thank we all our God\')

Psalm 119 v.161-168

********

People, they persecute

Me without cause, me confute

But my heart it stands in

Awe of your word, Lord, not sin

In your word I rejoice

I have made it my choice

As one that finds great tore

Of treasures evermore

 

I hate, abhor lying

Your law do I love, each thing

Seven times a day do

I praise you, your works review

For you act righteously

And not deal unjustly

Great peace have they which do

Love your law, your ways too

 

Nothing shall them offend

They come not to troubled end

Lord, I have hoped for you

Salvation, show me it sure

I your commands have done

Still seek to do each one

My soul, your laws it sees

Keeps your testimonies

 

And them exceedingly

I love whole-hearted, so be

I have your precepts kept

By your grace me do accept

All my ways are before

You, my God be you sure

Assist me, help I need

In your good paths me lead
