Since with My God with Perfect Heart

lyricist: From Psalm 18
Composer: Edward Miller, 1790

Since with my God with per­fect heart

I walk and make His Word my guide

And from ini­qui­ty de­part

The Lord His bless­ing will pro­vide.

The mer­ci­ful shall know Thy grace

The per­fect Thy per­fect­ion see

The pure shall see Thine own pure face

The fro­ward find a foe in Thee.

To smite the proud and bring them low

To save the poor is Thy de­light

The Lord will cause my lamp to glow

My God will make my dark­ness light.

From God the vic­to­ry I re­ceive;

Most per­fect is His ho­ly way;

His Word is tried

they who be­lieve

Will find the Lord their shield and stay.

For who is God

and strong to save

Beside the Lord

our God of might?

’Tis He that makes me strong and brave

The Lord who guides my steps aright.

Thy free sal­va­tion is my shield

My sure de­fense in ev­ery strait;

Thy hand up­holds me

lest I yield;

Thy gen­tle­ness has made me great.
