Thou Art My Portion, Lord

Thou art my por­tion

Lord;

Thy words I ev­er heed;

With all my heart

Thy grace I seek

Thy pro­mis­es I plead.

I thought up­on my ways

Thy tes­ti­mo­nies learned;

With ear­nest haste

and wait­ing not

To Thy com­mands I turned.

While snares be­set my path

Thy law I keep in view;

At mid­night I will give Thee praise

For all Thy judg­ments true.

All those who fear Thy name

Shall my com­pan­ions be;

Thy mer­cy fills the earth

O Lord;

Thy sta­tutes teach Thou me.
