Tune: Quebec
('Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts')
Psalm 119 v.173-176
********
Let your Spirit help me, Lord, for
I have chosen your precepts sure
I have longed for your salvation
Which you show unto each nation
I have for your salvation longed
You bring it near, it not prolonged
And your law it be my delight
Your way illumined, clear and bright
Let my soul live, and it shall praise
You, and unto you songs shall raise
Let your judgements help me, they be
All right and true e'er, constantly
I have gone astray like lost sheep
Seek me your servant and me keep
For I do not your laws forget
Nor your laws, they are with me yet

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8. At the very end of the Psalm, with all 176 verses, the Psalmist says he is like a lost sheep at times, but it's not a futile pursuit. He asks the Lord to seek him, maybe even if he is not seeking Him, or sometimes loses the way.
