Text Based On Psalms Chapter 119
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto
thee because of thy righteous judgments.
O Blessèd Redeemer!
Thanks for Thy truth, O blessèd Redeemer!
Open our eyes its beauty to see;
Grant us Thy grace to study it wisely,
Close every heart to all but Thee.
Refrain
Thanks for Thy truth and off’ring so freely
Pardon and peace to all who believe;
Help us, O Lord, its counsel to follow,
Meekly by faith Thy truth receive.
Thanks for Thy Word of precept and promise,
Lamp to our feet and light to our way,
Points us afar where pleasures immortal
Bloom in Thine own bright realm of day.
Refrain
Blessèd are they who keep Thy commandments,
They shall abide for ever with Thee;
Close by the clear and beautiful river,
Sharing the fruits of life’s fair tree.
Refrain
