Thy Word Sheds Light upon My Path

Thy Word sheds light up­on my path;

A shin­ing light

it guides my feet;

Thy right­eous judg­ments to ob­serve

My so­lemn vow I now re­peat.

In my dis­tress I plead with Thee

Send help ac­cord­ing to Thy Word;

Accept my sac­ri­fice of praise

And make me know Thy judg­ments

Lord.

In dan­ger oft and nigh to death

Thy law re­mem­bered is my aid;

The wick­ed seek my ov­er­throw

Yet from Thy truth I have not strayed.

Thy pre­cepts are my her­it­age

For dai­ly they my heart re­joice;

To keep Thy sta­tutes faith­ful­ly

Shall ev­er be my will­ing choice.
