Behold the morning sun
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 318 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119 Lyrics: 1 Behold, the morning sun
Begins his glorious way;
His beams through all the nations run,
And life and light convey.
2 But where the gospel comes,
It spreads diviner light;
It calls dead sinners from their tombs,
And gives the blind their sight.
3 How perfect is thy word!
And all thy judgments just!
Forever sure thy promise, Lord,
And we securely trust.
4 My gracious God, how plain
Are thy directions given!
Oh, may I never read in vain,
But find the path to heaven. Topics: The Bible; Power of God's Word

His Way with Thee
I love the volume of thy word
Author: Watts Appears in 175 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119 Lyrics: 1 I love the volume of thy word;
What light and joy those leaves afford
To souls benighted and distressed!
Thy precepts guide my doubtful way,
Thy fear forbids my feet to stray,
Thy promise leads my heart to rest.
2 From the discoveries of thy law,
Thy perfect rules of life I draw:
These are my study and delight;
Not honey so invites the taste,
Nor gold that has the furnace passed,
Appears so pleasing to the sight.
3 Who knows the errors of his thoughts?
My God! forgive my secret faults,
And from presumptuous sins restrain;
Accept my poor attempts of praise,
That I have read thy book of grace,
And book of nature, not in vain.

Your Word Is like a Garden, Lord

a lovely cluster there.

are hidden in its mighty depths
for every searcher there.

a thousand rays of light
are seen to guide the traveler,
and make his pathway bright.

where soldiers may repair,
and find, for life's long battle day,
all needful weapons there.
3 O may I love your precious Word,
may I explore the mine,
may I its fragrant flowers glean,
may light upon me shine.
O may I find my armor there,
your Word my trusty sword;
I'll learn to fight with every foe
the battle of the Lord. Topics: God's Word The Holy Scriptures; Holy Scriptures Illumination of Used With Tune: SERAPH

gift of gifts beyond all knowing.

O lead us on the narrow way,
with wisest counsel guide us;

hearts now broken;
give some token
you are near us,
whom we trust to light and cheer us.

let your good word in doubt and strife
be in us strongly burning,
that we be faithful unto death
and live in love and holy faith,

on us shower;
by your power
Christ confessing,
we will cherish all your blessing. Topics: Comfort; Faith; Gifts of the Holy Spirit; Guidance; Holy Spirit; Perseverance Used With Tune: WIR SCHÖN LEUCHTET

Thy law is perfect, Lord of light
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119 Lyrics: 1 Thy law is perfect, Lord of light;
Thy testimonies sure;
The statutes of thy realm are right,
And thy commandments pure.
2 Let these, O God, my soul convert,
And make thy servant wise;
Let these be gladness to my ears,
The dayspring to mine eyes.
3 By these may I be warned betimes:
Who knows the guide within?
Lord, save me from presumptuous crimes;
Cleanse me from secret sin.
4 So may the words my lips express--
The thoughts that throng my mind--
O Lord, my strength and righteousness,
With thee acceptance find.
