Thou art my portion, O my God!
1
Thou art my portion, O my God!Soon as I know thy way,I hasten to obey thy word,And suffer no delay.
2
I choose the path of heavenly truth,And glory in my choice;Not all the riches of the earthCould make me so rejoice.
3
The testimonies of thy graceI set before mine eyes;Thence I derive my daily strength,And there my comfort lies.
4
If once I wander from thy path,I think upon my ways;Then turn my feet to thy commands,And trust thy pardoning grace.
5
Now I am thine, forever thine,O, save thy servant, Lord!Thou art my shield, my hiding-place,My hope is in thy word.
