Lyrics
Tune: Abide With Me
"Eventide" by William H. Monk, 1861
[Key: B]
Verse 1
Your hands created
And established me.
Give understanding;
Your commands I'll learn.
May those who fear You
See me and be glad;
When they have seen
How to Your Word I turn.
Verse 2
O Lord, I know how right
Your judgments are;
In faithfulness
You have afflicted me.
As to Your servant,
You once gave Your Word.
May Your unfailing love
My comfort be.
Verse 3
Let Your compassion
Come to give me life.
For in Your law
My joy is very great.
Shamed be the proud who
Wrong me with their lies.
But on your precepts
I will meditate.
Verse 4
May all of those
Who fear You turn to me,
Those who Your testimonies
Know and claim.
May my heart keep Your
Statutes blamelessly;
So that I never may
Be put to shame.
