Oh! That Thy Statutes Every Hour

1Oh! that thy statutes every hour Might dwell upon my mind;
Thence I derive a quick'ning power,
And daily peace I find.

2To meditate thy precepts,
Lord,
Shall be my sweet employ;
My soul shall ne'er forget thy word;
Thy word is all my joy.

3My lips with courage shall declare Thy statutes and thy name;
I'll speak thy word, though kings should hear,
Nor yield to sinful shame.
