Tune: Harewood

('Christ is the corner-stone')

Psalm 19 v.7-11

*****

The Lord's law is perfect

In it there no defect

And it converts the soul

Does restore and make whole

Testimony of the Lord be

Sure, making wise the simple, see

 

The Lord's statutes are right

Rejoice the heart, make bright

The Lord's command is pure

Enlightens eyes e'ermore

Fear of the Lord is clean, endures

For ever, saves from sin's allures

 

The Lord's judgments are true

And they be righteous too

More to be desired than

The fine gold which man can

Find, and sweeter than honey be

To keep them brings prosperity

        Many tell me I should be afraid and fear but I've got too much other stuff to worry about. Good write Orchi.

          Thanks SB. The 'fear' here means awe, reverence, respect, etc, I think.

            It is I, the blackberry monster, here to tell you that I very much like the last two lines, as they stood out to me, in the midst of my grazing.
