I choose the path of heavenly truth,
And glory in my choice;

I choose the path of heavenly truth,
And glory in my choice;
Not all the riches of the ea
You are my portion, O Lord
When midnight darkness veils the skies,
I call your works to mind;
my thoughts in hushed devotion rise,
and sweet acceptance find
Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law;
Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
Great is their peace who love Thy law;
How firm their souls abide!
Remove from me reproach and contempt,
For I have kept Your testimonies
This is the day the Lord has made;
He calls the hours His own;
let heav’n rejoice, let earth be glad,
and praise surround the throne
The foolish builders, scribe and priest,
Reject it with disdain;
Yet on this Rock the Church shall rest, And envy rage in vain
Lord, thou hast heard thy servant cry
And rescued from the grave;
Now shall he live; and none can die,
If God resolve to save.
The Lord appears my helper now,
Nor is my faith afraid
What all the sons of earth can do,
Since heav’n affords its aid
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
