119 (7) | Psalm 119 Part 7 (verses 57-64) | CM | |
THOU art my portion, O my God, I’m pledged to keep Thy way, To willingly obey Thy Word, And act without delay. |
|||
2 | If I should wander from Thy path, I’ll think upon my ways, Then turn my steps to Thy commands And seek Thy pardoning grace. |
||
3 | At night, when duty’s clamour dies, I’ll call Thy works to mind; Bid thoughts in warm devotion rise, And Thine acceptance find. |
||
4 | All they who own Thy saving ways Shall my companions be; With them I’ll join in prayer and praise, In fear and love of Thee. |
||
5 | Thy mercies fill the earth, O Lord; How good Thy works appear! Open my eyes to know Thy Word, And love Thy wonders there. |

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
