How Blest the Perfect in the Way

How blest the per­fect in the way

Who from God’s law do not de­part

Who

hold­ing fast the Word of truth

Seek Him with un­di­vid­ed heart.

Yea

they are kept from paths of sin

Who walk in God’s ap­point­ed way;

Thy pre­cepts Thou hast giv­en us

That we should faith­ful­ly ob­ey.

My wa­ver­ing heart is now re­solved

Thy ho­ly sta­tutes to ful­fill;

No more shall I be brought to shame

When I re­gard Thy ho­ly will.

To Thee my praise sin­cere shall rise

When I Thy right­eous judg­ments learn;

Forsake me not

but be my guide

And from Thy truth I will not turn.
