It spreads such light abroad,
The meanest souls instruction find,
And raise their thoughts to God.

That guides us all the day;
And thro' the dangers of the night,
A lamp to lead our way.

And meditate thy word,
Grow wiser than their teachers are,
And better know the Lord.

I hate the sinner's road;
I hate my own vain thoughts that rise,
But love thy law, my God.

6 [The starry heavens thy rule obey,
The earth maintains her place;
And these thy servants night and day
Thy skill and power express!
7 But still thy law and gospel, Lord,
Have lessons more divine;
Not earth stands firmer than thy word,
Nor stars so nobly shine.]
Ver. 160 140 9 116.

How pure is every page!
That holy book shall guide our youth,
And well support our age.

'Tis daily my delight;
And thence my meditations draw
Divine advice by night.

2 My waking eyes prevent the day
To meditate thy word;
My soul with longing melts away
To hear thy gospel, Lord.
