Laudes Domini ‎#105

105. Psalm 119

1 How precious is the book divine,
By inspiration given!
Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine,
To guide our souls to heaven.

2 O'er all the strait and narrow way
Its radiant beams are east;
A light whose never weary ray
Grow brightest at the last.

3 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts,
In this vale of tears;
Life, light, and joy, it still imparts,
And quells our rising fears.

4 This lamp, through all the tedious night
Of life, shall guide our way,
Till we behold a clearer light
Of an eternal day.
