O law of God! blest and divine!
1
O law of God! blest and divine!Penned by the Everlasting Hand!Long shall thy sacred precepts shine,Firm as the eternal hills shall stand.
2
God's covenant shall e'er abide,Though heaven and earth shall pass away;That rule which is the angel's guideShall I not fear to disobey?
3
With all my power, from morn till night,I'll publish 'mong the sons of menThat sacred law, though others scornTo keep thy holy precepts ten.
4
O that an angel's tongue were mine!Then would I magnify that word,Which, echoing from lips divine,From Sinai's rugged mount was heard.
5
And when old earth shall be restoredTo Eden beauty, fair and bright,And God himself shall dwell with men,Still in that law shall I delight.
