1 O Lord, Thy perfect righteousness
is in Thy judgments shown;
in Thy unchanging faithfulness
Thy truth Thou hast made known.

2 Because Thy foes forget Thy law
my soul is greatly stirred;
Thy servant loves the purity
of Thy most holy Word.

3 Though I am humble and despised,
I strive Thy will to do;
eternal is Thy righteousness,
and all Thy law is true.

4 Delight amid distress and pain
do Thy commandments give;
Thy word is righteous evermore,
teach me that I may live.

CHURCH (Holbrook)

LAMBETH (Schulthes)

Credited to Wilhelm Schulthes, 1871, in The Hymnal (1916). Reviews of his works in The Musical Times in 1871 include an "Ave Maria" for organ/piano and "O Salutaris" for soprano and choir. These pieces appear to be exceptionally rare and are not readily available for study. —Chris Fenner
