My griev­ing soul re­vive, O Lord,
According to Thy Word;
To Thee my ways I have de­clared
And Thou my pray­er hast heard.

Teach me to know Thy ho­ly way
And think up­on Thy deeds;
In grief I ask for pro­mised grace
According to my need.

Keep me from false­hood, let Thy law
With me in grace abide;
The way of faith­ful­ness I choose,
Thy pre­cepts are my guide.

I cleave un­to Thy truth, O Lord,
From shame de­liv­er me;
In glad obe­di­ence I will live
Through strength be­stowed by Thee.
