O how I love Thy holy law!
’Tis daily my delight;
And thence my meditations draw
Divine advice by night.
O how I love Thy holy law!
’Tis daily my delight;
And thence my meditations draw
Divine advice by night.
Oh, how I love Your law!
It is my meditation all the day.
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
Remove from me reproach and contempt,
For I have kept Your testimonies
Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord?
Who can declare all His praise?
Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;
Talk of all His wondrous works!
Ye nations round the earth, rejoice
Before the Lord, your sovereign king:
Serve Him with cheerful heart and voice,
With all your tongues His glory sing
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations
Let all the earth proclaim your love
in all its different tongues,
and praise your name below, above,
in melody and songs.
Oh, sing to the Lord a new song!
For He has done marvelous things
