God's perfect law converts the soul
1
God's perfect law converts the soul,Reclaims from false desires;With sacred wisdom his sure wordThe ignorant inspires.
2
The statutes of the Lord are just,And bring sincere delight;His pure commands of living truthAssist the feeblest sight.
3
His perfect worship here is fixed,On sure foundations laid;His equal laws are in the scalesOf truth and justice weighed;
4
Of more esteem than golden mines,Or gold refined with skill;More sweet than honey, or the dropsThat from the comb distill.
5
My trusty counselors they are,And friendly warning give;Divine rewards attend on thoseWho by thy precepts live.
