Grace and Truth Shall Mark the Way

lyricist: The Psalter, 1912
Composer: George Hews, 1835

Grace and truth shall mark the way

Where the Lord His own will lead

If His Word they still ob­ey

And His tes­ti­mo­nies heed.

For Thy name’s sake hear Thou me

For Thy me­rcy

Lord

I wait;

Pardon my ini­qui­ty

For my sin is ve­ry great.

He who walks in god­ly fear

In the path of truth shall go;

Peace shall be his por­tion here

And his sons all good shall know.

They that fear and love the Lord

Shall Je­ho­vah’s friend­ship know;

He will grace to them ac­cord

And His faith­ful co­ve­nant show.

Ever are my long­ing eyes

On the Lord

whose watch­ful care

When my foes their plots d­evise

Keeps my feet from ev­ery snare.

Turn to me

Thy grace i­mpart

I am de­so­late in­deed;

Great the trou­bles of my heart;

Save Thou me

O Lord

I plead.

Look on mine af­flict­ed state

Freely all my sins for­give;

Mark my foes

their cru­el hate;

Keep my soul and let me live.

Shame me not; I hide in Thee;

Truth and right pre­serve me still;

Mark Thy people

Lord my God

Save Thou from ev­ery ill.
