Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) ‎#151

151. Jehovah's Perfect Law

1 Jehovah's perfect law restores the soul again;
his testimony sure gives wisdom unto men;
the precepts of the Lord are right,
and fill the heart with great delight.

2 The Lord's commands are pure, they light and joy restore;
Jehovah's fear is clean, enduring evermore;
his statutes, let the world confess,
are wholly truth and righteousness.

3 They are to be desired above the finest gold;
than honey from the comb more sweetness far they hold;
with warnings they your servant guard,
in keeping them is great reward.

4 His errors who can know? Cleanse me from hidden stain;
keep me from wilful sins, nor let them o'er me reign;
and then I upright shall appear
and be from great transgressions clear.

5 Whene'er you search my life, may all my thoughts within
and all the words I speak your full approval win.
O Lord, you are a Rock to me,
and my Redeemer you shall be.
