Joyful Journeying

Tune: Melcombe

('New every morning is the love')

Psalm 119 v.105-112

********

Your word is a lamp to my feet

And to worship you it is meet

And your word too a light it be

Unto my path, I clearly see

 

I have sworn I will carry out

Your righteous judgements, with no doubt

I them will keep, though afflicted

I am, O be not from me hid

 

Revive me, O LORD, according

unto your word, so will I sing

And offer freewill offerings

Teach me your judgements in all things

 

My soul is always in my hand

I am in troubles in this land

Yet I do not your law forget

And you have remained with me yet

 

The wicked a snare for me laid

Yet I erred not, was not waylaid

From your precepts, but still them did

E'en though I enemies amid

 

Your testimonies to me be

A heritage so rich and free

They the rejoicing of my heart

I delight in them, every part

 

My heart to your ways I inclined

And you have cleansed it and refined

Always I shall your statutes do

Perform each one, obeying you
