Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) ‎#152

152. The Law of the Lord is Perfect

1 The law of the Lord is perfect,
converting the soul.
The testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple.

Refrain:
More to be desired are they than gold,
yea, than much fine gold.
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

2 The statutes of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart.
The commandments of the Lord are pure,
enlight'ning the eyes. [Refrain]

3 The fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring forever.
The judgments of the Lord are true,
and righteous altogether. [Refrain]
