The law of the Lord is perfect.
Psalm 19:7.
O Lord, thy perfect word
Directs our steps aright;
Nor can all other books afford
Such profit or delight.
2 Celestial light it sheds
To cheer this vale below;
To distant lands its glory spreads,
And streams of mercy flow.
3 True wisdom it imparts;
Commands our hope and fear:
O may we hide it in our hearts,
And feel its influence there!
Beddome.
