(one tune to 'Father, hear the prayer we offer')
Parts of Psalm 119
*********
v,18
Open my eyes, Lord, that I may
Behold in your law this day
Wondrous things, your word shall I keep
I within your fold a sheep
v.33
Teach me, O Lord, the way of your
Statutes, and I shall keep sure
Them unto the end, persevere
And knowing your presence near
v.77
Let your tender mercies come to
Me, that I may live, 'tis true
That your law it is my delight
Pure and holy, good and right
v.105
Your word is a lamp to my feet
A light to my path completer
So isee each step now clearly
Whate'er on life's journey be
v.130
The entrance of your words gives light
Dispelling darkness of night
It gives understanding unto
Those needing wisdom anew

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.7.8.7. I have changed the last two lines. It is originally: 'It gives understanding to the simple' to 'those needing wisdom'. 'Simple' is not in the sense of half-wit or dullard. 'Fools' appears in other verses. But this can mean 'one wickedly spiritually blind'.
