Words
⤢ Full screenO perfect law of the Most High!Law ever holy, just, and good!No other code with thee can vie,Unrivaled thou hast ever stood.
Let thy ten words my soul convertFrom every false and sinful way;Write thy pure precepts on my heart,That from thy truth I may not stray.
Then in the glorious world to come,No more I'll need the chastening rod;For all who reach that blissful homeWill be in harmony with God.
