Tune: Carlisle

('Stand up and bless the Lord')

Psalm 119 v.33-40

**********

Teach me, O Lord, the way

Of your statutes each day

And I shall keep it to the end

If you will me defend

 

Give me understanding

To keep your law, each thing

And I shall observe it, whole heart

Commit, not just a part

 

Make me go in the path

Of your commands, not wrath

I incur, but I do delight

In your word, it gives light

 

Incline my heart unto

Your testimonies, do

That I shall not covetous be

Burt your servant-way see

 

Turn my eyes, that they not

See of vanity's lot

And revive me in your way, too

Establish your word true

 

I your servant still here

Devoted to your fear

Turn away my reproach for your

Judgements are good, 'tis sure

 

Behold, I have longed for

Your precepts evermore

Revive me in your righteousness

By your grace do me bless
