Trinity Hymnal ‎#260

260. Thy servant, blessed by thee, shall live

1 Thy servant, blessed by thee, shall live
And keep thy Word with awe;
Lord open thou mine 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.

Amen.
