How blest are they who always keep
1
How blest are they who always keepThe pure and perfect way;Who never from the sacred pathsOf God's commandments stray!
2
How blest, who to his righteous lawsHave still obedient been,And have with fervent, humble zealHis favor sought to win!
3
Thou strictly hast enjoined us, Lord,To learn thy sacred will;And all our diligence employThy statutes to fulfill.
4
O then that thy most holy willMight o'er my ways preside;And I the course of all my lifeBy thy direction guide!
