Tune: Fulda
('We have a gospel to proclaim')
Psalm 119 v.140-144
*********
Your word is very pure, Lord, I
Your servant do love it here nigh
I am small, despised, yet do not
Forget your precepts, they my lot
Your righteousness ins e'erlasting
Your law is the truth through each thing
Trouble and anguish do I know
Yet I hold to your word e'en so
For your commands are my delight
I keep them always in my sight
To do them, and the righteousness
Of your testimonies, they bliss
They last for ever, never fade
Give me understanding, so staid
In your ways I shall be, and live
And thankful praises to you give
