Let Thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, even Thy salvation, according to Thy Word. So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in Thy Word.
Psalm 119:41–42
Words: From The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 326.
Music: Sarah (Gabriel) Charles H. Gabriel, 1901 (🔊 pdf nwc).
Thy promised mercies send to me,
Thy great salvation, Lord;
So shall I answer those who scoff:
My trust is Thy Word.
My hope is in Thy judgment, Lord;
Take not Thy truth from me;
And in Thy law forevermore
My daily walk shall be.
And I will walk at liberty
Because Thy truth I seek;
Thy truth before the kings of earth
With boldness I will speak.
The Lord’s commands, which I have loved,
Shall still new joy impart;
With reverence I will hear Thy laws
And keep them in my heart.
