Thou art my portion, O Lord.
Psalm 119:57.
453Watts.
Thou art my portion, O my God; Soon as I know thy way, My heart makes haste t’ obey thy word, And suffers no delay. | 2 I choose the path of heavenly truth, And glory in my choice; Not all the riches of the earth Could make me so rejoice. | 3 The testimonies of thy grace I set before mine eyes; Thence I derive my daily strength, And there my comfort lies. | 4 If once I wander from thy path, I think upon my ways; Then turn my feet to thy commands, And trust thy pardoning grace. | 5 Now I am thine, for ever thine; O, save thy servant, Lord: Thou art my shield, my hiding-place, My hope is in thy word. | |
