My joy Thy sayings to repeat,

Talk o’er the records of Thy will,

And search the oracles divine

Till every heart-felt word be mine.

O may the gracious words divine

Subject of all my converse be;

So will the Lord His follower join,

And walk and talk himself with me;

So shall my heart His presence prove,

And burn with everlasting love.
