Love Of The Law

orchidee



Tune: Little Cornard

('Hills of the north, rejoice')

Psalm 119 v.89-96

**********

For ever, O LORD, your

Word it is settled sure

In heaven, you faithful

To generations all

You have established the earth sure

And it abides for evermore

 

Earth, heaven, continue

They dependent on you

'Tis all as you ordain

They are your servants plain

Unless your law was my delights

I would have perished with sore frights

 

For in my affliction

I would be released none

But your precepts I will

Ne'er forget, do them still

I am yours, LORD, save me, I pray

I seek your precepts here each day

 

The wicked have waited

Until I be misled

They hope to me destroy

To hinder and annoy

I have seen things fully, clearly

But your commands broad, wide they be

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.6.6.6.8.8. metre. My digit nearly slipped again. I nearly chose a Ch.......theme poem. Can't say the word yet, but we're half-way (6 months) there! Little Cornard - hymn tune - is a place in Suffolk, near to it neighbour, Great Cornard.
