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

    And mind you to keep your intervals of posting as these are quite handy for prayer and meditation. For the soul they are essentially useful!
