1.

O perfect is God’s law today;
The weary it revives.
His counsel is forevermore;
It makes the simple wise.

2.

What He commands is good and right;
Rejoice with all your heart.
His law is pure, gives strength and light,
And wisdom does impart.

3.

His fear is pure, all evil shuns,
Stands firm eternally.
God’s law is truth—His way is just;
So follow faithfully!

4.

More worth than gold is God’s own law,
Than finest, purest gold.
’Tis sweeter than the honeycomb;
So drink, ’tis yours, dear soul!
