Tune: St Hilda
('O happy band of pilgrims')
Psalm 119 v.71-74
********
It is good for me that I
Afflicted [be] by and by
That I might your statutes learn
O Lord, and to you turn
Law of your mouth better be
Than heaps of riches, see
Better than thousands of gold
Or silver stores be told
You hands, Lord, have fashioned, made
Me, your works here displayed
Give me understanding so
I your commands learn, know
They that fear you, Lord, will be
Glad when they do me see
Because I have hoped in your
Word, it abides e'ermore
