Psalter Hymnal (Red) ‎#252

252. Thy Servant, Blest by Thee, Shall Live

1 Thy servant, blest by Thee, shall live
And keep Thy Word with awe;
Lord, open Thou my eyes to see
The wonders of Thy law.

2 A pilgrim in the earth am I,
Thy will to me reveal;
To know Thy truth my spirit yearns,
Consumed with ardent zeal.

3 Thou dost rebuke the proud, O Lord,
Who hate Thy holy Name;
But since I keep Thy righteous law,
Deliver me from shame.

4 I on Thy statutes meditate,
Though evil men deride;
Thy faithful Word is my delight,
My counselor and guide.
