Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A paraphrase of Psalm 119 by Isaac Watts, celebrating Scripture as the believer's chosen inheritance and greatest delight. It reflects the Puritan love of meditating on God's Word as a source of life and hidden glory.
Verse 1
Lord, I have made Thy word my choice,
My lasting heritage;
There shall my noblest powers rejoice,
My warmest thoughts engage.
Verse 2
I'll read the histories of Thy love,
And keep Thy laws in sight;
While through Thy promises I rove,
With ever fresh delight.
Verse 3
In this broad land of wealth unknown,
Where springs of life arise,
Seeds of immortal bliss are sown,
And hidden glory lies.
Verse 4
The best relief that mourners have,
It makes our sorrows blest;
Our fairest hope beyond the grave,
And our eternal rest.
