Thy precious promises are sweet

1Thy precious promises are sweet; I keep thy law in sight; Through all the business of the day, To form my actions right.

2My heart in midnight silence cries, How sweet thy comforts be! My thoughts in holy wonder rise, And bring their thanks to thee.

3And when my spirit drinks her fill At some good word of thine, Not mighty men that share the spoil, Have joys compared with mine.
