God’s Good Law

God’s Good Law

God’s good law is true and perfect;
It refreshes soul and mind.
All the simple are bid welcome.
Timeless wisdom there you’ll find.
All the Lord’s decrees are faithful;
His commands are right and true.
You won’t stumble or grow weary
If His Word abides in you.

God’s commands dispel the darkness—
Pow’r and Spirit there abide;
They bring life to desert starkness,
For they have life’s force inside.

Far more worth than finest treasure
Is God’s law, so pure and right.
’Tis God’s wisdom in full measure:
Depth and width and length and height.
Words of truth make clear our vision;
Holy, pure, and firm they stand.
We will bow in glad submission.
Our reward comes from God’s hand.

God’s commands dispel the darkness—
Pow’r and Spirit there abide;
They bring life to desert starkness,
For they have life’s force inside.

Laws of God bring joy exceeding—
Honey’s sweetness can’t compare.
Strength they give—our pathway leading.
Peace and rest in God grow there.
Lord, I pray, in each endeavor:
May Your laws direct my way.
So in thought and word, I ever
Please You, Jesus, come what may.

God’s commands dispel the darkness—
Pow’r and Spirit there abide;
They bring life to desert starkness,
For they have life’s force inside.
